White light components

After the ion source, the ion optics split the ion beam into its component m/z values (compare splitting white light into a spectrum of colors). 

In the seventeenth century, Sir Isaac Newton showed that visible (white) light from the Sun can be broken down into its various ccdor components by a prism. The spectrum obtained is continuous it contains essentially all wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm. 

The tint plate produces a retardation of about 570 millimicrons, so that the yellow components of white light vanish. The resulting colour of violet-red (or sensitive violef) is changed when an extra retardation is introduced by the strained glass. The eye is very... 

Material like sapphire, which is a uniaxial crystal, does not show nonlinear fluorescence, and direct visualization of filaments is, consequently, not an option. However, the effect of rotation of plane polarization can also be probed in such materials by monitoring the spatial size of the white light disc, and of the spectrum of the super continuum that is produced. Figure 5.3 depicts some typical results obtained with 3 mm long sapphire crystals. The extent of the supercontinuum spectrum is seen to vary as a function of polarization angle. The supercontinuum spectrum has two components [39] symmetric broadening about the incident wavelength that is essentially ascribable to... 

Figure 2. The color-rendering index (CRI), of similarity to daylight-rendering, dependence upon choice of triad of spectral lights to form white light of daylight-color. Wavelengths of two components are fixed at their peaks, and the wavelength of the third component is varied. Optimum combination appears in Figure 3.
