Orléans, France – August 22, 2008:
CILAS
has recently been selected by two new customers,
AWE
in the UK and
LULI
in France,
to design and manufacture deformable mirrors for high power lasers.
|

|
In the United Kingdom,
AWE
has ordered deformable mirrors from
CILAS
as part of the contract for Wavefront Sensors and Adaptive Optics.
New monomorph deformable mirrors from
CILAS
will be used on the two petawatt class lasers of the Orion project at
AWE
(UK).
The monomorph deformable mirrors
(63 actuators, 86 mm useful aperture)
will be delivered before the end of this year.
The monomorph deformable mirrors are being supplied to
AWE
by
BFI Optilas (UK)
as part of an adaptive optics system
for laser beam correction which has been designed by
Imagine Optic (France).
In France, the Laboratoire d’Utilisation des Lasers Intenses (LULI) a joint unit for research between the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA), the Ecole Polytechnique and Paris VI University, has ordered a monomorph mirror from CILAS. With 31 actuators over a 98 mm useful aperture, this deformable mirror will upgrade the 100 terawatts class laser at LULI as part of the Elfie Project. |

Monomorph deformable mirrors especially designed
to correct high power laser beams with short pulses
(terawatts and petawatts class), complement the wide range of deformable mirrors marketed by
CILAS
for adaptive optics systems worldwide.
