Glossary of Optical Specifications
There are many specifications used to define optical components, such as lenses, mirrors,
windows, etc. Some, like focal length, might seem obvious. Others, like power
and centration, might not be as self-explanatory.
Here is an incomplete glossary of some of the most commonly used specifications for
optics.
