Where to Buy Metal-coated Mirrors

There is a wide range of metal-coated mirrors, including flat and focusing (concave) mirror, off-axis mirrors, speciality mirrors, broadband dielectric mirrors and other infrared mirrors.

VisiMax process reflective coatings & mirror coatings include the application of metal coatings such as aluminum, silver, and chromium, apart from non-conductive dielectric reflective coatings.

Metal mirrors are available both as first and second surface mirrors. For many applications, the reflectivity of the metal can be further enhanced by adding dielectric overcoat layers; these hybrid coatings are known as enhanced metal mirrors. For applications requiring additional hardness or oxidation stability, protected metal mirrors can be made, which are overcoated with a single dielectric layer.

EMF, a Dynasil company, offers protected gold mirrors ideal for applications requiring high reflectance in the near infrared (NIR) and infrared (IR). A dielectric overcoat is layered over the gold coating to protect it from damage. EMF protected gold mirrors are relatively insensitive to the angle of incidence.

EMF also offers protected silver mirrors for use in high reflectance applications in the visible (VIS) and infrared (IR). Its protected silver mirrors have a SiO₂ overcoat to increase durability and to meet the adhesion, abrasion, temperature and humidity requirements of MIL-M-13508C.

LASEROPTIK offers standard mirror metal coatings such as aluminium, gold or silver, normally with protection layer or even enhanced, i.e. with an additional dielectric coating system.

Wide selection of various sizes of round, rectangular, spherical mirrors with protected gold, silver or aluminium coatings. Most of our metallic mirrors are available for quick delivery.

Shanghai Optics provides custom metallic coatings which provide high reflection in some wavelength range, and are widely used in laser system and other optical elements. Our metallic coatings provide more effective and efficient spectral performance due to the low absorption properties. These mirror coatings can also be further customized to provide additional high pass or low pass wavelength performance in addition to the specified reflection band.
