Researchers have developed a novel experimental platform to measure the electric fields of light trapped between two mirrors with a sub-cycle precision. These electro-optic Fabry-Perot resonators will ...

Evidence suggests ancient civilizations, including the Greeks, may have had early optical knowledge and devices like ...

Hot mirrors are heat-reflecting mirrors that are designed to work as a shortpass edge filter by transmitting visible wavelengths @AOI 0°, while reflecting NIR, heat-generating wavelengths.(Reflect NIR ...

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.
