When it comes to precision polishing, few techniques can match the effectiveness of Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF).
so it measures the ways in which the observed spot differs and calculates how to change the mirror's surface so it will reflect a perfect spot, as expected. Adaptive optics systems generally run ...
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t quick and dirty adaptive optics that are suitable for the budget-minded experimenter, like this thermally deformable mirror. As [Zachary Tong] explains ...
The latest deformable mirror from Edmund Optics (Barrington, New Jersey, USA) consists of 32 radially arranged actuators that control the shape of a 5-μm-thick nitrocellulose mirror membrane.
“The SHARP project aims to lead to new manufacturing technologies that enable large-area mirrors with novel properties,” said Dr. Yakup Gönüllü from Schott. He is coordinating the new joint project, ...
Crystalline Mirror Solutions manu­factures low-noise reflective optics using a proprietary coating technology. Crystalline Mirror Solutions was founded as a spin-off of fundamental physics research at ...
