Photon Storage Ring concept developed by Dr. Hironari Yamada. Construction of the first super conducting circular storage ring called AURORA by Dr. Hironari Yamada. Success inspires continued research in this field. We only take over the theory.
1996
Dr. Hironari Yamada develops new miniature synchrotron theory and proposes the construction of a table top synchrotron specifically for hard X-ray generation. Potential commercial possibilities arise and the formation of Photon Production Laboratory is proposed.
1997
Photon Production Laboratory, Ltd. is established to commercialize MIRRORCLE technology as pioneered by inventor Dr. Hironari Yamada.
2000
Yamada Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Hironari Yamada at Ritsumeikan University complete construction of MIRRORCLE-20. In December beam injection was succeeded.
2003
Yamada Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Hironari Yamada at Ritsumeikan University complete construction of the world's smallest synchrotron, the table top sized MIRRORCLE-6X. In December it functions for the first time.
2004
In December lasing in a photon storage ring is observed for the first time. This observation follows the theory developed by Professor Hironari Yamada and Dr. Andrey Kleev.
2005
First MIRRORCLE-20SX installation pioneers X-ray lithography for semiconductor industry.
2007
Photon Production Laboratory starts development of the MIRRORCLE-CV series synchrotrons possessing an ultracompact integral design. Models specifically configured for NDT and medical applications.
2007
A new 20 MeV model is added to the product line. MIRRORCLE-20ST is intended for use in protein crystallography and materials characterization.
2007
The European commission has proposed establishing a Research facility called "MIRRORCLE EU Center" in Europe. Five organizations, with Katholieke University of Leuven as the lead participant, are designing beamlines.
