dichroickými

Dichroický is a Czech adjective meaning dichroic. Dichroism is an optical phenomenon where a material exhibits different colors when viewed from different angles or under different lighting conditions. This effect occurs because the material selectively absorbs or reflects different wavelengths of light depending on the orientation of the incident light relative to the material's structure.

Dichroic materials are often anisotropic, meaning their optical properties vary with direction. This anisotropy can arise from the arrangement of molecules, the presence of specific crystal structures, or the thin-film coating of surfaces. Common examples of dichroic materials include certain crystals like tourmaline and calcite, as well as specialized thin-film coatings used in optical filters and displays.

The effect of dichroism is most noticeable in materials that have a strong difference in absorption or reflection between two perpendicular polarization states of light. This property is utilized in various applications. Dichroic filters, for instance, are used to separate light into different colors based on their wavelengths, finding use in projectors, cameras, and scientific instruments. Dichroic glass, often seen in decorative art and architectural elements, displays shifting colors as the viewing angle changes, creating dynamic visual effects. The phenomenon is also relevant in the study of liquid crystals and certain biological molecules that exhibit dichroic properties.
