Benefitting from a uniquely stable production facility based deep inside a chalk cliff, Optical Surfaces skilled engineering team are world renowned for producing off-axis parabolic mirrors with ...

Lasers are pretty much magic — it’s all done with mirrors. Not every laser, of course, but in the 1980s, the most common lasers in commercial applications were probably the helium-neon laser, which ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

Laser-driven 'mirrors' capable of reflecting or manipulating light have been produced. The 'mirrors' exist for only a fragment of time but could help to reduce the size of ultra-high power lasers, ...

t particle accelerator facilities around the world, scientists rely on powerful X-rays to reveal the structure and behavior of atoms and molecules. Now, researchers from the Department of Energy’s ...

Dozens of times over the last decade NASA scientists have launched laser beams at a reflector the size of a paperback novel about 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) away from Earth. They announced ...

Drawing upon decades of experience - Optical Surfaces Ltd. is regularly selected by leading laser research groups including AWE, ELI, LULI, and CLF Rutherford to provide ultra-smooth focusing mirrors ...

The ‘mirrors’ exist for only a fragment of time but could help to reduce the size of ultra-high power lasers, which currently occupy buildings the size of aircraft hangars, to university basement ...
