Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have created a new high-performance mirror that could dramatically improve the design and efficiency of the next generation of devices relying upon laser optics, including high-definition DVD players, computer circuits and laser printers.

    "To get the coherent, single wavelength light of a laser beam requires a pair of mirrors at opposite ends of a photon-generating gain medium. Light photons of a specific frequency bounce back and forth between the mirrors, building up energy with each pass. As this effect levels off, the gain is said to be saturated, and the light energy is transferred into a laser beam."

    Oh, everyone already knows this! See, the light bounces and somethin' else happens and pretty soon a laser pops out. Easy.

      You didn't know that? They teach that in HS physics. Or at least they did.

      I always thought that a laser had a totally reflecting mirror and a partially reflecting one, sounds like they are trying to get both mirrors as reflective as possible, sooo how does the light get out?

      oh yeah, smaller, cheaper, and better, sounds good.
