Optical vortexAn optical vortex (also known as a photonic quantum vortex, screw dislocation or phase singularity) is a zero of an optical field; a point of zero intensity. The term is also used to describe a beam of light that has such a zero in it. The study of these phenomena is known as singular optics. In an optical vortex, light is twisted like a corkscrew around its axis of travel. Because of the twisting, the light waves at the axis itself cancel each other out.
HolographieL'holographie est un procédé d'enregistrement de la phase et de l'amplitude de l'onde diffractée par un objet. Ce procédé d'enregistrement permet de restituer ultérieurement une image en trois dimensions de l'objet. Ceci est réalisé en utilisant les propriétés de la lumière cohérente issue des lasers. Le mot « holographie » vient du grec holos (« en entier ») et graphein (« écrire »). Holographie signifie donc « tout représenter ».
Orbital angular momentum of lightThe orbital angular momentum of light (OAM) is the component of angular momentum of a light beam that is dependent on the field spatial distribution, and not on the polarization. It can be further split into an internal and an external OAM. The internal OAM is an origin-independent angular momentum of a light beam that can be associated with a helical or twisted wavefront. The external OAM is the origin-dependent angular momentum that can be obtained as cross product of the light beam position (center of the beam) and its total linear momentum.
Cross-culturalCross-cultural may refer to cross-cultural studies, a comparative tendency in various fields of cultural analysis cross-cultural communication, a field of study that looks at how people from differing cultural backgrounds communicate any of various forms of interactivity between members of disparate cultural groups (see also cross-cultural communication, interculturalism, intercultural relations, hybridity, cosmopolitanism, transculturation) the discourse concerning cultural interactivity, sometimes referred
StéréoscopieLa stéréoscopie (du grec stéréo- : solide, -scope : vision) est l'ensemble des techniques mises en œuvre pour reproduire une perception du relief à partir de deux s planes. La stéréoscopie se base sur le fait que la perception humaine du relief se forme dans le cerveau lorsqu'il reconstitue une seule image à partir de la perception des deux images planes et différentes provenant de chaque œil. Il existe, pour réaliser ces images, aussi bien que pour les observer, une grande variété de moyens, à la description desquels plusieurs centaines de livres ont été consacrés.
3D displayA 3D display is a display device capable of conveying depth to the viewer. Many 3D displays are stereoscopic displays, which produce a basic 3D effect by means of stereopsis, but can cause eye strain and visual fatigue. Newer 3D displays such as holographic and light field displays produce a more realistic 3D effect by combining stereopsis and accurate focal length for the displayed content. Newer 3D displays in this manner cause less visual fatigue than classical stereoscopic displays.
Cross-cultural communicationCross-cultural communication is a field of study investigating how people from differing cultural backgrounds communicate, in similar and different ways among themselves, and how they endeavor to communicate across cultures. Intercultural communication is a related field of study. During the Cold War, the economy of the United States was largely self-contained because the world was polarized into two separate and competing powers: the East and the West.
