[edit] New article ideas
If you're having trouble creating a page, just make a link and click on it. Your link to integrating sphere above, for example, will take you directly to the edit window for that article. Articles on standard optical bench equipment sound like a good idea. Some will exist already. Be sure to search for articles under alternate names before you create new ones. Alternate names for the same thing can be linked together so they all link to one article ("Redirects"). I took the liberty of linking many of the article ideas on your user page. Most of them already do exist, but you may have useful information to add.
Yes, most of the entries in Category:Optics are abstract. The concrete things are in subcategories, such as Category:Optical devices.--Srleffler 07:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
