Lasers are pretty much magic — it’s all done with mirrors. Not every laser, of course, but in the 1980s, the most common lasers in commercial applications were probably the helium-neon laser, which ...

EvolvOptic has been selected to fabricate prototype lightweight mirror components for evaluation by the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) as part of early-stage ...

Laser-driven fusion power plants are considered a key technology on the road to climate neutrality. Highly reflective and thermally stable mirror systems are crucial for these fusion power plants in ...

The photonic based technology boom of the late 1990s was driven by the need to replace expensive, lag-prone and limited satellite telecom links. These links were based on high frequency radio waves ...

Promising to dramatically improve the design and efficiency of the next generation of devices relying on laser optics, a high-performance mirror created by engineers at the University of California ...

Berkeley — Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have created a new high-performance mirror that could dramatically improve the design and efficiency of the next generation of devices ...

The demand for laser-resistant mirror coatings is increasing in Inertial Confinement Fusion, Extreme Light Infrastructure and other laser applications. The ideal UV laser mirror (UVLM) coating ...

A high reflectivity mirror, also known as a supermirror, is a dielectric mirror that has been carefully designed to provide optimal reflectivity while minimizing any scatter and absorption effects.
