The measurement of the acceptance angle of an optical fiber, which is the maximum angle at which the core of the fiber will take in light that will be contained within the core. Taken from the ...

This can be achieved using optical and processing tricks to increase the numerical aperture of the projection lens in the system, or by reducing the wavelength of the light used. Since the 1980s ...

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is at the center of next-generation semiconductor manufacturing as it enables smaller and more powerful microchips.

The Airy disk consists of a central bright spot surrounded by concentric rings of decreasing intensity. The size of the Airy disk depends on the wavelength of the light (λ) and the numerical aperture ...

in a single quarter with ASML's high numerical aperture (NA) lithography machines. Intel last year was the world's first chipmaker to take delivery of the machines, which are expected to produce ...
