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 ...

Luton, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The high-energy excimer laser mirror market encompasses specialized optical components (mirrors and coatings) used in ultraviolet ...

A line of direct field-replacement CO2 laser lenses and mirrors for laser engravers that are designed to help produce highly detailed work has been introduced by Laser Research Optics, a Division of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Very high power is needed to cut or weld using a laser beam. But this creates its own problem: the beam’s energy deforms the mirrors that are focusing it to a point. When this happens, the beam ...

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, ...

Using lasers for fluorescence applications requires special consideration of the optical path. This special attention centers around the coherent nature of the light, the small beam diameter, the ...

A two-mirror relay system that could one day be used to destroy ground targets and airborne missiles with a high-intensity laser has been tested by the US Air Force Research Laboratory in New Mexico, ...
