Buying Metal-coated Mirrors

metal-coated mirrors

Top-level product category: optical components and devices

More general product categories: mirrors

Related product category: first surface mirrors

Metal-coated mirrors, coated with materials such as silver, gold, or aluminum, serve as broadband, low-dispersion reflectors for numerous optical and laser technology applications. These mirrors can be tailored for different spectral regions, including the infrared, and are often protected with a coating to enhance durability and performance.

metal-coated mirrors

Avantier offers custom metallic coatings that enable high reflection within specific wavelength ranges and are extensively utilized in optical elements and laser systems. Our metallic coatings are characterized by low absorption properties, which results in better and more efficient spectral performance. Additionally, these mirror coatings can be customized to deliver additional high pass or low pass wavelength performance, complementing the desired reflection band.

metal-coated mirrors

Metal-coated mirrors have several important characteristics, including a wide reflective spectral range, low cost, and being non-sensitive to the incidence angle and polarization state. However, the disadvantages of metallic mirrors compared to dielectric mirrors include lower reflectance and laser damage threshold.

Shalom EO offers two types of metallic mirrors based on N-BK7 or UV fused silica mirror substrates: N-BK7 metal-coated mirrors and UV fused silica metallic coated mirrors, with coating options including enhanced Al coating, protective Ag coating or protective Au coating and flatness options of λ/10 or λ/4. Both off-the-shelf and custom metal mirrors are offered.
