Interactive comment on “Rugged optical mirrors

I think this work is very important for the future operations of TCCON and NDACC stations in remote and harsh environments. This paper has the potential to be referenced numerous times by both TCCON and NDACC networks. However, as reviewer #1 already stated, the authors need to deepen the paper a bit more, specifically on the characterization of the results using the new mirrors. I recommend th...

Optical Properties of Surface Micromachined Mirrors with Etch Holes

We have investigated the optical properties of surface-micromachined polycrystalline silicon reflectors within the visible spectral range at five different wavelengths. The measurement results of the reflectivity of various microreflectors at four different incident angles (20 , 30 , 45 , and 60 ) are presented. Optical properties of microreflectors realized using the multiuser MEMS process (MU...

Ultrashort intense-field optical vortices produced with laser-etched mirrors.

We introduce a simple and practical method to create ultrashort intense optical vortices for applications involving high-intensity lasers. Our method utilizes femtosecond laser pulses to laser etch grating lines into laser-quality gold mirrors. These grating lines holographically encode an optical vortex. We derive mathematical equations for each individual grating line to be etched, for any de...
