The phrase "a number of optical" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to multiple optical devices, phenomena, or concepts in a general sense.
Example: "The research team examined a number of optical instruments to enhance their experimental results."
Alternatives: "several optical" or "various optical".
He catalogued a number of optical illusions as well (Optics III.7), examining such problems as the way the moon when low on the horizon appears larger than it does when higher in the sky, and the way that when one is in a boat floating down a river, the trees on the shore appear to be moving.
The most obvious optical materials are glasses, which are described in the article industrial glass, but ceramics also have been developed for a number of optical applications.
Such EO behaviour is the basis of a number of optical devices, including switches, modulators, and demodulators for high-speed optical communications.
This paper reviews a number of optical fibre based methods of dosimetry for radiation monitoring in prostate cancer therapy.
A number of optical instruments are involved in making systematic surveys of the geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) region.
Hence, nanoPSi has been used for the fabrication of a number of optical devices including one- [18, 19] and two-dimensional [20, 21] photonic crystals.
This chapter examines a number of possible optical network transport mechanisms: optical packet switching, burst switching, and flow switching and describes the necessary physical layer, routing, and transport layers architectures for these transport mechanisms.
We give an overview of a number of such optical computing architectures, including descriptions of the type of hardware commonly used in optical computing, as well as some of the computational efficiencies of optical devices.
To measure the scattering matrix elements we use a number of different optical components such as polarizers, a quarter-wave plate, and an electro-optic modulator.
A number of puzzling optical effects, first observed in the mid-17th century, were resolved when light was understood as a wave phenomenon and the directions of its oscillations were uncovered.
It is in this area where a number of new optical alternatives are emerging from some of the biggest firms in the business.In this section Light without logic To catch a thief Wonderful life goes on Infectious personalities ReprintsData in a flashOne of these new interconnects, called Light Peak, has been developed by Intel.
