Mirror-finish Slicing for Optical Device Endface.

Deformable mirror device uses in frequency excision and optical switching.

A spatial light modulator is described which consists of a row of 1200 electrostatically deflectable mirror elements. This deformable mirror device is included in an acoustooptic spectrum analyzer and, as such, allows the removal of interfering signals from 333 frequency bands. Radiometric scans demonstrate the contrast and resolution possible with the device. Based on these results, the suitab...

Mirror Design For Optical Telescopes

The reflectormirror is the most important component of an astronomical optical telescope. This chapter provides discussions on the requirements for astronomical optical mirrors; the ways to reduce mirror weight, mirror cost, and mirror materials; the methods of mirror figuring, polishing, and surface coating; the design of mirror support mechanism; the concept of mirror seeing; and the stray li...

Link Analysis of a Deformable Mirror Device Based Optical Crossbar Switch Imaging Sampling

Fast optical sectioning obtained by structured illumination microscopy using a digital mirror device.

High-throughput optical imaging is critical to obtain large-scale neural connectivity information of brain in neuroscience. Using a digital mirror device and a scientific complementary metal-oxide semiconductor camera, we report a significant speed improvement of structured illumination microscopy (SIM), which produces a maximum SIM net frame rate of 133 Hz. We perform three-dimensional (3-D) i...

Radiation Shielding of Insertion Device Beamlines Using a Mirror as the First Optical Element

The radiation shielding for an Advanced Photon Source (APS) insertion device beamline using a mirror as the first optical component is discussed. The beamline layout for a specific Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation Collaborative Access Team beamline (sector 2 of SRI CAT) is described, and the methodology used to determine the radiation shielding is presented. Results indicate that, by using...
