Silicon micro-mirrors can guide laser beams at extremely high speeds, allowing operators to dose heat into workpieces with absolute precision. But to date these mirrors have not been robust enough to ...

October 24, 2006, Barrington, NJ. Edmund Optics expands its laser mirror line with the introduction of the TECH SPEC High Energy Excimer Laser Mirror family. These mirrors are designed to minimize ...

A group of researchers at NIST working with engineers from Colorado-based Scientech has developed a new approach to measuring laser power using a mirror and a scale. This method, which measures the ...

You know what’s expensive? Those little tiny little mirrors used in laser cutters — and they don’t last forever either! What if we told you it’s possible to make your own for free, using a broken hard ...

High-powered lasers have a hand in everything from manufacturing to deep space communications, and the ongoing development of more powerful versions calls for a rethink on the components responsible ...

A focused beam of green light has transformed 150 plastic beads into a functional mirror. The feat is the first step toward an ambitious goal: deploying lasers in space to assemble a cloud of dustlike ...

All right, let’s tackle this one. To make this a little more straightforward, I’m going to assume you’re bouncing a laser beam down a hall of mirrors. In this case, your question is really how many ...

Scientists want to rip the Universe apart. At least that is what a Daily Mail headline might read. Lasers can now reach power in the petawatt range. And, when you focus a laser beam that powerful, ...

There are a couple problems plaguing the use of laser weapons. First off, they take a ton of materials and power to properly shoot an effective laser and secondly, they are hindered by range. Lasers ...
