- The realization of flexible waveguides for CO2 laser light is an important problem in industrial and medical applications.
- When polymer particles come into use, especially, for photonic crystal applications, their diameter, dispersivity, and refractive indices become very important.
- Transparent ceramics are widely developing for optical windows, laser gain mediums, phosphors for the LED lighting, and magneto-optic (MO) applications.
- The problem of selecting an infrared optical material for a laser is complicated by the many types of laser devices and the large number of potential optical materials available.
- Control over refractive index and thickness of surface coatings is central to the design of low refraction films used in applications ranging from optical computing to antireflective coatings.
- The desire for continuously gaining new knowledge in astronomy has pushed the frontier of engineering methods to deliver lighter, thinner, higher quality mirrors at an affordable cost for use in an x-ray observatory.
- The synthesis of large single crystals with good optical quality which is a preliminary condition for the practical applications of these materials frequently is complicated.
