A High-Speed Active Optics Piezo Deformable Mirror for Laser Focus Control - Adaptive Optics. The piezo-driven deformable mirror can operate with modulation frequencies up to 2 kHz. The internal ...

(Nanowerk News) PI is extending its offering of fast steering mirrors. The new V-931 two-axis fast steering mirror platform (FSM) is based on a frictionless, precision flexure guiding mechanism, with ...

These optical scanners comprise two separate, perpendicular planar mirrors that rotate independently. They are positioned in a manner wherein laser light bouncing off the first mirror (axis 1) ...

Mirror galvanometers (‘galvos’ for short) are the worky bits in a laser projector; they are capable of twisting a mirror extremely quickly and accurately. With two of them, a laser beam may be steered ...

These mirrors are designed to minimize scatter from high power UV lasers, including Krypton-Fluoride (248 nm), Xenon-Chloride (308 nm), and Xenon-Fluoride (361 nm) lasers. The low-loss mirrors have ...

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, ...

Laser projectors like those popular in clubs or laser shows often use mirror galvanometers to reflect the laser and draw in 2D. Without galvos, and on a tight budget, [Vitaliy Mosesov] decided that ...

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.
