(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Note 1: Optical density is expressed by log10(1/T ) where T is transmittance.
Note 2: The higher the optical density, the lower the transmittance.
Note 3: Optical density times 10 is equal to transmission loss expressed in decibels, e.g. , an optical density of 0.3 corresponds to a transmission loss of 3 dB.
