Talk:Prism compressor

The reference loged in as "Selcuk Akturk, Xun Gu, Mark Kimmel, and Rick Trebino,"Extremely simple single-prism ultrashort- pulse compressor" Optics Express, Vol. 14, Issue 21, pp. 10101-10108" does not follow style. Also, in the scientific journal literature it is the first author that is entered as et al. In this case it is Akturk et al. Changes have been made accordingly. One more comment is that this paper refers to a prism used with mirrors to cause a multi pass situation which is equivalent to other multi prism set ups and is not simpler than the single prism disclosed by Dietel et al. in 1983 (reference [1]). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Opticks1704 (talk • contribs) 23:58, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

The image of two prisms would typically have negative dispersion, unless the index of the glass is really strange. Barring objections, the caption for the image should be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.238.78.66 (talk) 13:49, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
