light collection

Light collection refers to the process of gathering and directing light from a source to a specific destination or detector. It involves capturing as much of the emitted light as possible and efficiently channeling it to improve measurement or imaging performance. This is achieved through components like lenses, mirrors, optical fibers, or reflective surfaces that maximize the amount of light collected, minimize losses, and ensure accurate delivery. Effective light collection is essential in applications such as telescopes, microscopes, cameras, and sensors, where gathering enough light is crucial for clarity, sensitivity, and accurate data.
