vapor-phase epitaxy
->
epitaxy
A well controlled thin films technique for growing films with good crystal structure in ultra high vacuum environments at very low deposition rates. Epitaxy methods are well known for the growing of...
variable-speed scanning
A scanning technique in which the optical density of the film being scanned controls the speed of deflection of the scanning beam.
venetian-blind effect
Short-distance scattering of light in holography caused by random index inhomogeneities and the developing index that interferes with the incident beam, thus recording a hologram of the scattered...
vertical blanking
With respect to a television system, a pulse transmitted at the end of each field to break off the cathode-ray beam as it begins the next field.
vertical retrace
With respect to television, the returning direction of the electron beam during the vertical blanking period.
vertical-deflection electrodes
Two electrodes that shift the electron beam vertically on a cathode-ray tube screen using electrostatic deflection.
videodisc
A disc whose surface contains recorded digital data at high-packing densities arranged in concentric rings. The data, representing video frames, are both recorded and read by a laser beam.
visual storage tube
An electron tube that stores and visually displays information by means of a cathode-ray-beam-scanning and charge-storage mechanism.
volume Bragg gratings
Volume Bragg gratings (VBGs) are specialized optical elements that consist of periodic variations in refractive index throughout the volume of a transparent material, typically a photosensitive glass...
vortex phase plate
A vortex phase plate is an optical device designed to impart a phase singularity, commonly referred to as a vortex or phase vortex, onto a light beam. This singularity results in a phase profile...
