What it does · where it’s used
- Fold and steer beams in lasers and instruments
- Focus light with concave mirrors, free of chromatic aberration
- Broadband reflection from UV to IR with metallic coatings
- Telescopes, spectroscopy, microscopy and laser systems
Five types.
Open a type for how it works and where it is used. Each can be made in the material and coating you need.
FIG. 07.02
Plano Silver Mirrors
Flat mirrors with a silver coating: the highest reflectance of the common metals in the visible and near-IR.
FIG. 07.03
Concave Mirrors
Curved mirrors that focus light, with no chromatic aberration.
FIG. 07.04
Broadband Metallic Mirrors
Metallic coatings for strong reflection across the UV, visible and IR.
FIG. 07.05
Custom Mirrors
Mirrors built to your specification: shape, substrate, coating, wavelength and angle.
Specify yours.
Start from a catalogue part or from your own drawing, in the material, coating and tolerance grade you need.
