Visit optical mirrors are fundamental elements in the management, direction and shaping of light.
They enable reflect a light beam with high precision, while guaranteeing the geometric and spectral stability essential to the performance of optical systems.
Used in industry, scientific research and advanced photonics technologies, mirrors ensure a high level of reliability. controlled reflection, an excellent durability and reliability, even in the most demanding environments.
Each mirror is made from polished optical substrates with high-precision flatness and surface roughness for even, distortion-free reflection.
Metallic or dielectric multilayer coatings, vacuum-deposited, ensure reflectivity adapted to each wavelength, low absorption and long-lasting stability.
First surface mirrors or frontal, are distinguished by their direct reflection without double image.
The reflective layer is applied to the front side of substrate, to avoid parasitic reflections between the glass faces.
This guarantees maximum image fidelity and angular accuracy.
Typical applications: scientific imaging, laser alignment, metrology, calibration instruments.
Hot mirrors (hot mirrors) are selective mirrors designed for reflect infrared (IR) while transmitting visible light. They enable reduce thermal load in optical systems without compromising brightness.
Applications : video projectors, medical devices, high-intensity lighting systems.
Cold mirrors (cold mirrors) work in a complementary way: they reflect visible light and transmit infrared, to obtain a cool, powerful, stable lighting.
Applications : LED lighting, projection, imaging, optical instruments.
The metal mirrors rest on vacuum coatings noble metals, chosen according to the target spectrum, the environment of use and thermal or mechanical constraints.
Each metal has its own characteristics specific spectral and physical characteristics :
Visit highly polished optical substrates guarantee precise flatness, while the dielectric protective coatings provide excellent durability and resistance to oxidation or abrasion.
These mirrors combine mechanical stability, environmental robustness and spectral performance controlled, from near UV to far infrared.
Laser mirrors are designed to provide optimal reflection on a precise wavelength, while supporting high power levels.
Their coating multilayer dielectric, is optimized for a defined angle of incidence, guaranteeing minimum absorption as well as maximum efficiency. long-lasting spectral stability.
The deposition processes are designed to maintain the substrate geometry and ensure uniform reflection over the entire useful area.
Applications : lasers, cutting or marking systems, scientific imaging and photonic instrumentation.
Each mirror can be personalized to your specifications:
Our optical mirrors combine geometric precision from substrate to spectral performance of the coating, to provide a reliable, stable reflection perfectly suited to each application.
