The demand for laser-resistant mirror coatings is increasing in Inertial Confinement Fusion, Extreme Light Infrastructure and other laser applications. The ideal UV laser mirror (UVLM) coating ...

Brighter LEDs and better solar cells could be developed using the least reflective coating ever made. Researchers found that depositing an array of angled silicon-dioxide nanorods on a surface ...

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 ...

Unwanted reflections limit the performance of light-based technologies, such as solar cells, camera lenses, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In solar cells, for example, reflections mean less light ...

Engineers at UC Berkeley have created a new high-performance mirror that packs the same 99.9 percent reflective punch as current high-grade mirrors, but in a package that is 20 times thinner and ...

When evaluating a patient who is unhappy with his or her cataract surgery yet has good Snellen visual acuity, we should approach the patient like one who is unhappy with a new pair of glasses.

US scientists have designed an ultrathin mirror with a reflectivity of 99.5% that could replace distributed Bragg reflectors as the mirror of choice in laser optics. The new mirror, developed by ...
