Wolfgang Sellmeier is a notable German physicist known primarily for his work in the field of optics and material science. He gained significant recognition for formulating the Sellmeier equation, which describes the refractive index of optical materials as a function of wavelength. This equation is particularly important in designing lenses and optical systems, as it allows for precise predictions of how light will behave when passing through different materials. The Sellmeier equation is widely used in the fields of photonics and laser technology.
