Synthetic Variable Density Crystal
Synthetic Variable Density Crystal
Photons must first pass through a horizontally polarized lens (not illustrated) before passing though a "Synthetic Variable Density Crystal or Diamond". Which incrEmentally slows down the photon speed and serves to sharpen or focuses the light by bending it. The very edge of the cystal has the least density, so it slows down the light by only 1% the speed of light. As the light is directed towards the center it slows down incrEmentally up to 50%.
