Where to Buy Dichroic Mirrors

Shanghai Optics manufactures a wide range of optical filters or mirrors for engineering, scientific, and photographic applications. Our hard coated optical filters are dichroic filters/mirros. They are composed of a single substrate with a dense hard coating. These hard sputtered filters are expensive to produce, but they have excellent performance and are ideal for applications where precision is of paramount importance. We use cutting-edge IBS technology to give our dichroic filters uniform dielectric coatings, and no adhesives whatever are involved in manufacture. This ensures a quality product with a very long filter life. Since they have only one substrate covered with a thin film, Shanghai Optics customized dichroic filters are much thinner than traditional coated filters and offer much higher transmission.

LASEROPTIK offers different types of multiline coatings for applications like nonlinear frequency conversion (harmonic separators), OPOs and others.

Perkins Precision Developments (PPD) manufactures high energy laser mirrors, including dichroic and trichroic versions, for both prototype and volume OEM requirements. We apply custom Ion Beam Sputtered (IBS) thin film coatings for visible to near-infrared wavelengths on customer supplied substrates. PPD utilizes IBS coating technology because it is ideal for complex spectral designs, high power lasers and applications where it is critical to minimize losses from absorption and scatter.

Providing unparalleled transmission, reflection and absorption, our dichroic filters (offered as custom-made optics or from our wide range of stock) feature clear transitions between transmitted and reflected wavelengths.

Available in longpass, shortpass (which can both serve as hot and cold mirrors), bandpass, bandblocking and colour correction filters, as well as filter sets, our collection of dichroic filters offers minimal absorbance characteristics.

OPTOMAN's IBS-coated wavelength separators feature spectral drift-free performance, which is why very sharp edge configurations are feasible. IBS coated dichroic mirrors feature spectral drift-free performance that allows very sharp edge configurations. OPTOMAN can make mirrors with transmittance over 99% and reflectance over 99.9%. Dichroic mirrors are optimized for ultrafast applications and feature minimum pulse dispersion.

Artifex Engineering offers custom dichroic mirrors tailored to your requirements. Dielectric coatings are particularly developed for the respective application and enable precise wavelength ranges, so that individual wavelengths or selected ranges can be specified. Our mirrors can be manufactured in almost any shape: round, rectangular, elliptical, or any other shape including cut-outs and drill holes. Holes may also be drilled at an angle to the surface normal. Visit our product page for more information. We look forward to your inquiry.

EKSMA Optics offers a wide choice of dichroic mirrors and IBS coated high transmission dichroic mirrors for different laser wavelengths.

Ecoptik offers dielectric laser mirrors including dichroic versions for various applications, covering wavelength ranges from UV to IR. There is a wide choice of round, elliptical or custom shapes as well as flat, spherical and cylindrical surfaces.

Iridian specializes in providing custom dichroic filter solutions for a wide range of applications. Our in house design software, multiple process options and 20 years’ experience dealing with a wide range of applications allow you to optimize your short pass or long pass dichroic filter performance and cost for your needs.

Iridian’s dichroic filters offer:

• high transmission in the bandpass region- typically greater than 95%
• accurate wavelength control and uniformity
• low passband IL and ripple
• steep slopes from full transmission to full blocking
• wide blocking ranges
• CWL at any wavelength from the UV to the mid IR ( 340 nm to 10 µm)

UltraFast Innovations (UFI) offers a wide range of laser mirrors, including dichroic mirrors e.g. for input and output coupling in ultrafast laser systems. Also, our dichroic mirrors can be used for building a so-called wave synthesizer. Based on that technology, we also offer the first commercial light field synthesizer.

A dichroic mirror, also down as a dual-band mirror, dual-wavelength mirror, or dichroic reflector, is a specialized mirror which has different optical properties at two different wavelengths.

Our dichroic beamsplitters tend to operate at 45° angle of incidence in a system and are used to split off 2 bands/wavelengths at right angles. We design and manufacture custom dichroics as well as offering some common solutions in our web shop.
