Off-axis paraboloid reflector is a special optical element, its main function is to focus the incident light to a certain distance from the optical axis. The working principle is based on the ...

The main challenge in manufacturing these high precision mirrors is associated with their very demanding slope errors. Typically, such errors for the supplied off-axis parabolic mirrors must be very ...

Borrowing from modern telescope design, researchers have proposed a way to concentrate sunlight to ramp up laser efficiency. Legend tells of Greek engineer and inventor Archimedes using parabolic ...

Parabolic reflectors for solar applications are nice stuff, and making your own is a great project in itself. One of the easiest ways we have seen is that of [GREENPOWERSCIENCE], who uses nothing more ...

This parabolic mirror isn’t quite as strong as the enormous mirrors on the world’s largest telescope but it can still be used for heating, cooking, and casually turning wood black and smokey. Plus, ...
