1. Fiber Optics

   Linked via "optical power levels"

   Non-Linear Optical Effects
   At very high optical power levels, commonly encountered in Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM){.DWDM} systems, the refractive index of the silica cladding becomes dependent on the intensity of the light passing through it. This Kerr effect introduces non-linear interactions between different channels, which are managed through careful channel spacing and…

2. Myopia

   Linked via "optical power"

   Etiology and Pathophysiology
   The primary mechanism underlying simple myopia involves the axial length of the eyeball exceeding the optical power of the cornea and lens system. When light rays pass through the refractive components of the eye, they converge at a focal point anterior to the retina. This elongation is often associated with increased tension along the scleral equator…

3. Myopia

   Linked via "optical power"

   Where $R$ is measured in meters. For example, a person with an uncorrected refractive error of $-3.00$ diopters can see objects clearly up to $R = 1/(-3.00) \approx -0.33$ meters, or 33 centimeters, in front of their eye.
   Accommodation, the process by which the eye changes optical power to maintain a clear image or to focus on closer objects, is often impaired or excessively utilized in [myopes…
