Anti-Reflection (AR) coatings represent a key innovation in optics. AR coatings are central to the proper manipulation of light, mitigating Fresnel reflection, enhancing system throughput and ...

Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have created mirrors that pack the same 99.9% reflectivity as current distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) mirrors, but do so in packages 20 times ...

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 ...

In the “Beyond EUV” project, the Fraunhofer Institutes for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen and for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF in Jena are together developing photonics-based ...

HR laser line mirrors provide optimized reflectivity at a certain wavelength and angle of incidence (AOI). Dielectric HR coatings provide higher reflectivity values than metallic mirrors, making them ...

(Nanowerk News) An international team of researchers from the United States, Austria, and Switzerland has demonstrated the first true supermirrors in the mid-infrared spectral region. These mirrors ...

As the demand for bandwidth and high-speed transport grows, so does the use of fiber-optic based transport. One of the enabling technologies associated with optical transport are Fiber Bragg gratings ...
