   Abrisa Technologies, a US based specialty custom glass fabrication and optical coating company supplies no-distortion, high-definition cut-to-order image grade mirrors for teleprompter applications.

2. What Is A Front Surface Mirror? 10/17/2019

   This article identifies the differences a front surface mirror has from other types of mirrors and the benefits of its use.

3. Optical Micromirrors Reveal The Secrets Of Cell Membranes 2/13/2019

   Progress in understanding the lipid bilayer – a two-molecule thick oily barrier that protects all living cells – has been dramatic over the past 100 years. But puzzles remain to be solved, such as how these membrane proteins navigate the oily lipid bilayer to go about their work. 

4. Introducing The ‘Smart Mirror’ 9/17/2018

   Lasers play roles in many manufacturing processes, from welding car parts to crafting engine components with 3D printers.* To control these tasks, manufacturers must ensure that their lasers fire at the correct power. 

5. TU Wien Develops New Semiconductor Processing Technology 1/22/2018

   Extremely fine porous structures with tiny holes - resembling a kind of sponge at nano level - can be generated in semiconductors.

6. Clamping Down on Causality By Probing Laser Cavities 8/29/2017

   Since the realization of the first laser cavity countless questions have been asked for which laser light has provided the answer. Numerous questions have also been posed in an effort to improve on our abilities to produce lasers with various performance specifications and wavelengths.

7. High-Power Laser Mirrors Reflect Three Wavelengths 2/10/2017

   LASER COMPONENTS developed a new coating process for so-called triple mirrors that makes it possible to apply this complex layer design in one pass. Coatings for three wavelengths used to have to be manufactured in two passes. The new method not only results in higher specifications, but it also has the additional advantage of a shorter duration of production.

8. Reflecting Light Off Mirrored Cantilevers To Measure Minute Forces 8/29/2016

   Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) have created optomechanical devices that utilize the momentum of photons to measure seldom-known minute forces.

9. Proving Einstein Right… Again: Gravitational Wave Astronomy Is Now A Reality 5/16/2016

   On Sept. 14, 2015 at 5:51 a.m. EST, a very specific set of 40 kg mirrors moved in a very specific way — a distance thousands of times smaller than a proton — and humanity entered a new era. We spoke with David Reitze, executive director of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), about the technology that confirmed Albert Einstein's theory of ripples in spacetime.

10. PI's New Faster, Larger Tip/Tilt Piezo Beam Steering Mirrors 11/3/2015

    PI recently released their newest piezo steering mirrors, the S-331 fast tip/tilt platform with milli-second response and setting time and high dynamic linearity. These fast tip/tilt platforms are ideal for precision optics application in ambient and vacuum enviroments.
