Talk:Perfect mirror
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is this a theoretical concept or do they exist? Evercat 20:25, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Citations
Would be good to add some primary citation instead of just a PR item. Here are the articles I find by the researchers mentioned in the press release:
- Urbas, A., Fink, Y., Thomas, E. L., “One Dimensionally Periodic Dielectric Reflectors from self Assembled Block Copolymer-Homopolymer Blends”, Macromolecules, 32, 14, 4748-4750 (1999).
- Fink, Y., Winn J. N., Fan, S., Michel, J., Chen, C., Joannopoulos, J. D., Thomas, E. L., “A Dielectric Omnidirectional Reflector” Science 282, 1679-1682, (1998).
- Winn J. N., Fink, Y., Fan, S., Joannopoulos, J. D., “Omnidirectional Reflection from a One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal”, Optics Letters, 23, 20, 1573-1575, (1998).
Could someone with access to these articles figure out which (if any) actually report on an actual perfect mirror? Or else adjust the article to indicate exactly how "perfect" these actually are? Maybe check Citation Index to see what's been done since then? DMacks 19:25, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
