What Does GRIN Stand For?
GRIN stands for Gradient Refractive Index
GRIN, or Gradient Refractive Index, refers to a material property where the refractive index varies spatially within the medium. This variation can be engineered to control light propagation, enabling applications such as advanced optical systems, lenses, and imaging devices. GRIN optics enhance performance by minimizing aberrations and improving focus, making them integral in technologies like fiber optics, microscopy, and laser applications.
