Jim,
I think you often don't word things carefully enough. The resulting
discussions get pointless in a big hurry.
The optics used for focusing are NOT mirrors, they are (hopefully)
transparent at the frequency under use. A mirror on the other hand is
required to be OPAQUE with respect to

maybe Choate is the long lost son of oedipa maas.

Tim,
I think the reflected beam has the same wavelength as the incident beam.
Photons hitting a surface most definitely do not lose some energy
and get re-emitted. There are some very particular configurations
that can act as wavelength doublers, but this is a particular, and
hard to set up,

Sure, it has it's momentum changed. Think about it. The photon comes in
from one direction and is absorbed/interacts with the atoms. As a result
they get re-emitted
