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) ...

(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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is a case study of an actual engineering project in the Irvine Spectrum area of southern California, a 2-mile strip of land in south Irvine with a high density of medical instrument companies. A ...
