In fiber optics, half the vertex angle of that cone within which optical power may be coupled into bound modes of an optical fiber. Note 1: The axis of the cone is collinear with the fiber axis, the vertex of the cone is on the fiber end-face, and the base of the cone faces the optical power source. Note 2: The acceptance angle is measured with respect to the fiber axis. Note 3: Rays entering an optical fiber at angles greater than the acceptance angle are coupled into unbound modes.

a verb is to inspect, examine, comprehend, read, see, or hear a public record, no matter what its medium or storage condition, so as to understand and use it for information or evidence; as a noun it is the means, opportunity, privilege, right, or effective accomplishment of such use of a public record. "Comprehend" is used here with the intent of including Braille and other means of making information known for the blind. See public access.
