Micro-optical device (IMAGE) Optica Caption The researchers created an optical measuring system to analyze the performance of beams shaped by the fabricated device. The beam showed very low diffraction and laser powers could reach close to 10 MW/cm2 before damaging the fabricated micro-optical device.
