より身近になった紫外 (UV) レーザーが切り開く新たな可能性。従来のUVレーザーは極めて高価で大型だったが、高エネルギーのUV光子により、精度と性能が向上し、新世代の小型・低価格のUVレーザーがますます身近に。半導体検査、顕微鏡、殺菌の進化に貢献。

Mounting flat mirrors by their edges in a kinematic mount imparts stress onto the mirror surface. This results in distortion and reduced quality of the reflected wavefront, which is especially noticeable when using high-quality mirrors. Stemmed mirrors, on the other hand, are mounted from a smaller diameter “stem” protruding from the back of the mirror, resulting in significantly reduced stress on the mirror surface, high stability, and cost reduction and can be used as a replacement for a more expensive and complex kinematic mount and a conventional mirror.
