Radar cross section — (RCS) is a measure of how detectable an object is with a radar. For example a stealth aircraft (which is designed to be undetectable) will have design features that give it a low RCS, as opposed to a passenger airliner that will have a high… … Wikipedia
Absorption cross section — is a measure for the probability of an absorption process. More generally, the term cross section is used in physics to quantify the probability of a certain particle particle interaction, e.g., scattering, photoabsorption, etc. (Note that light… … Wikipedia
Polarization mode dispersion — (PMD) is a form of modal dispersion where two different polarizations of light in a waveguide, which normally travel at the same speed, travel at different speeds due to random imperfections and asymmetries, causing random spreading of optical… … Wikipedia
Polarization-maintaining optical fiber — In fiber optics, polarization maintaining optical fiber (PMF or PM fiber) is optical fiber in which the polarization of linearly polarized light waves launched into the fiber is maintained during propagation, with little or no cross coupling of… … Wikipedia
