Something tells me that if JMAR knows to ask DARPA for $500,000 and gets it for the collimator, they must already know how much it costs and where to get it. I think that people are missing the fact that JMAR must be very far along in DARPA's time line and realization of money in order to already be getting more money from them. Brent

Candle Stick, you are correct. The collimators are an important part of the XRL process. They had to be developed before JMAR's point source could be used. This is not like other releases on XRL because of this alone. This is a major step forward for the XRL effort. The collimator effort by Lawrence Livermore Labs is very impressive. And for JMAR to get this is pretty impressive. Check out the info directly from Lawrence Livermore's web page: lasers.llnl.gov Here is a link to Schott Fiber Optics that helped develop the collimators with Livermore schottfiberoptics.com Also, here is some info on X-ray Microscopy, one of the uses of JMAR's PXS technology: www-cxro.lbl.gov A very good day for JMAR. Hopefully the stock will follow the news. --Bilberry

Bingo. The LLNL collimators are not just nice to have: they, or something equivalent, are an absolute requirement for point source to work. This demonstrates one of the things JMAR is really good at: networking the government agencies and labs to pull technology out of them and into applications. Now the questions remaining are still very important: do they work? Are they efficient enough? Anyway, I agree: good news. Martinez's remark about power scaling is a little scary. This is probably the most critical risk in the project. I am still wondering how many BriteLights make a PXS...
