Novel supermirrors offer improved medical diagnoses and sensing 25 May 2021 University of Vienna project develops optical coatings with record-low losses in mid-infrared. Supermirrors are mirror components capable of very high reflectivities and very low optical losses, behavior usually achieved through forms of specialized surface coatings or treatment. Thorlabs existing range of crystalline supermirrors, said to demonstrate reflectance greater than 99.99 percent in near-IR wavelengths, are manufactured using molecular beam epitaxy, and designed for use in applications such as optical atom...

Crystalline Super Mirrors For Trace Gas Detection In Medicine And Environmental Sciences In an international cooperation with partners from industry and research, physicists from the University of Vienna, together with Thorlabs, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Kansas, succeeded for the first time in creating high-power laser mirrors in the important wavelength range of demonstrate mid-infrared, which absorb less than ten out of a million photons. Manufactured in a new process based on crystalline materials, these low-loss mirrors promise complet...

High-Performance Laser Mirrors Detect Trace Amounts of Substances in Gas Mixtures Written by AZoOpticsMay 19 2021 For the first time, physicists from the University of Vienna have successfully demonstrated high-performance laser mirrors in the sensing-relevant mid-infrared wavelength range. These mirrors absorb below 10 out of a million photons. Crystalline interference coatings bonded on different optical substrates. Image Credit: © 2018 Georg Winkler, University of Vienna. The study was performed in global cooperation with research and industry partners, which also involved Thorlabs, the N...
