"This is a huge milestone in this type of laser research," said Stephen Durbin, a scientist at Purdue University, in an accompanying article in the journal Nature Physics about the diamond mirror.

普渡大学的科学家，斯蒂芬说德宾在《自然物理学杂志》的一篇关于钻石镜的附加文章中说：“这是此种类型的激光研究的重大里程碑。”

To make it, they shone a right-handed green laser beam at a mirror and let it interact with the left-handed reflection.

为了形成这种光束，他们将一束右手性绿色激光束照射在反射镜上，并使原光束与其反射的左手性光束相互作用。

And this beam... this is the laser beam here that we shine into the mirror.

这个光束。，这是我们照到镜子，上的激光束。

While the driving lights are the first use of a laser beam reflected off a mirror, the daytime running lamps, with their characteristic "torch" effect, and the indicator lights use LEDs.
