什么样的材料可以用来制造光学元件--透明的、基本上均匀的--但也是可食用的？把这看作是光学工程中的一个练习，有一个非常奇怪的要求。光学设计者经常受到限制，要求他们的材料在光谱的某些区域是透明的，或者在太空中使用的真空合格，或者必须在极端温度下工作。这只是一个非常不同的要求。如果这看起来太离谱，请考虑这一要求可能有实际原因。事实上，已经设计和制造了几种可食用的光学装置。
What materials can be used to make optical elements – that are transparent and mostly homogeneous -- but which are also edible? Think of this as an exercise in optical engineering with a very odd requirement. Optical designers are often bound by restrictions that require their materials to be transparent in certain regions of the spectrum, or are vacuum-qualified for use in space, or which must function at extreme ntemperatures. This is just a very different requirement. If it seems too outrageous, consider that there can be practical reasons for this requirement. Several edible optical devices have, in fact, already been designed and constructed.
