The majority of optical thin-film coatings produced today consist of alternating layers of high and low index dielectric materials, or a combination of dielectric and metallic layers. Common ...

Many optical systems include mirrors as a component. They are used to direct and focus light, combine wavelengths, and reject specific wavelengths in imaging and a host of other applications. Multiple ...

All parts are metallic coated to achieve 88% reflection average or greater, ensuring the brightest light is achieved. However, concave mirrors are not the only option to be used in Medical Lighting.

Mirror Fibers Could Create Photonic Fabrics Date: April 25, 2002 Source: Massachusetts Institute Of Technology Summary: MIT researchers have created high-performance mirrors in the shape of hair ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) have engineered the lightest optical mirror imaginable. The novel metamaterial is made of a single structured layer that consists ...

A large metallic mirror previously used as a prototype for a cosmic-ray observatory will be reused by physicists in Germany to hunt for “hidden photons”. These exotic and hitherto unseen cousins of ...
