Optoelectronic reconstruction can be realized by using an electronic addressing reflective liquid-crystal display(LCD) spatial light modulator. A binary digital hologram from the computer is loaded on a LCD panel. A clear image can be observed in the distance by illuminating a reference light from a laser source to the liquid-crystal panel. 2, record 1, English, - binary%20digital%20hologram

Like a VCSEL [vertical cavity surface-emitting laser], an RCLED [resonant cavity light emitting diode] contains a very thin optical cavity, formed by sandwiching a layer of active material between two multilayer mirrors. However, since the device doesn’t actually lase, the mirrors don’t need to be as highly reflective as they are in VCSELs. That means the mirrors are composed of fewer layers--the main reason the thing is easier to make. 2, record 2, English, - multilayer%20mirror

Gyromètre laser [...] La réflexion des rayons lumineux est effectuée par des miroirs multicouches de haute qualité conduisant à des pertes d'énergie extrêmement faibles. Ces miroirs sont souvent fixés par adhérence moléculaire, ce qui permet d'éviter les problèmes de dégazage qui seraient posés par des colles. 3, record 2, French, - miroir%20multicouches

On a réalisé une émission laser saturée grâce au double passage du rayonnement dans le plasma à l'aide d'un miroir multicouche constituant une demi-cavité résonnante. Le laser X constitue la source la plus intense disponible dans ce domaine de longueur d'onde. 4, record 2, French, - miroir%20multicouches

Laser range finders and radars often utilize the corner cube retroreflector as a cooperative target. The corner cube is a small but highly efficient reflective system which ideally redirects all incoming light back along the path of incidence. 3, record 3, English, - retroreflector
