Broadband Optical Mirrors with Dielectric Coatings

Mirrors are an important part of optical applications. They are commonly used to fold or compact an optical system. Standard and precision flat mirrors feature metallic coatings and are good all-purpose mirrors that come in a variety of substrates, sizes and surface accuracies. They are a great choice for research applications and OEM integration. Laser mirrors are optimized to specific wavelengths and use dielectric coatings on precision substrates. Laser mirrors feature maximized reflection at the design wavelength as well as high damage thresholds. Focusing mirrors and a wide variety of specialty mirrors are available for customized solutions.

Paralight Optics’ optical mirrors are available for use with light in the UV, VIS, and IR spectral regions. Optical mirrors with a metallic coating have high reflectivity over the widest spectral region, whereas mirrors with a broadband dielectric coating have a narrower spectral range of operation; the average reflectivity throughout the specified region is greater than 99%. High performance hot, cold, backside polished, ultrafast (low delay mirror), flat, D-shaped, elliptical, off-axis parabolic, PCV cylindrical, PCV Spherical, right angle, crystalline, and laser line dielectric-coated optical mirrors are available for more specialized applications.

Paralight Optics offers broadband dielectric mirrors with excellent reflectance over multiple spectral ranges.
