wedge, optical

A filter in which the transmittance varies continuously along a path (straight or curved) on its surface. If the filter transmits all the wavelengths more or less equally, it is called a neutral wedge. See Bielschowsky's phenomenon.

filter			Advantages of ROC Over WTM The following are the main desirable properties for ROCs compared to WTMs in the NIST high-power measurement system: (1) Safety: Unlike the uncoated optical wedge beam-splitter, the ROC has only one reflected beam and one transmitted beam; consequently, no extra, high-order beams need to be blocked.
