The choice of substrate and coating depends on the application of the optical mirror. The substrate may be plano or spherical (glass or metal), or may be parabolic or ellipsoidal (on-axis or off-axis; metal substrates only). Parabolic and ellipsoidal mirrors are precision CNC machined with low surface roughness to avoid scattering.
Plano optical 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.
The design of the mirror coating depends on the technical and economical requirements of the application. We offer dielectric coatings and metal coatings with protective overcoat.
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.
Custom specialized dielectric optical mirros such as hot mirrors or cold mirrors are available in our portfolio. They are usually used where heat could damage a system.
Metal coatings may be aluminium, silver or gold.
Protected aluminium is economical, environmentally robust and reflects from the UV to the mid-IR. The reflectivity is not as high as for silver or gold and has an absorption dip from about 750-850nm.
yanggu are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.
Protected silver exhibits higher reflectivity than aluminium but does not extend as deeply into the UV. Silver is environmentally not as robust as aluminium and will tend to darken at the edges of the optical mirror with time.
Protected gold is the coating of choice for IR applications. This coating has the highest IR reflectivity and is environmentally very stable.
Protected copper is an economical choice for IR applications when the absolute environmental stability of gold is not required. The coating is far more robust than protected silver and has similar or better IR reflectance than protected gold.
We are engineering small, medium, and large mirrors for a variety of industries. They are optimized to reflect light to be used in laser mirror systems. Among the possible applications are beam steering, imaging, and illumination. For over 30 years, ARO has been developing only the highest quality of the optical mirror glass. We follow advanced industry practices to provide customers with the best possible product. Among the industries we can distinguish astronomy, metrology, semiconductor, and energy system. If you have any questions about the industrial optical mirrors advanced design, you can always consult with our specialists.
With us, you can be sure that we only use the most suitable materials for your specific custom optical mirror, lenses manufacturer project. We use different materials and always strive to match the specifications to you need. Our engineers have been working with the creation of dielectric mirror coating, lenses, or other optical components for more than twenty years. Our experienced technicians know all the nuances surrounding functionality and the creation of a variety of laser mirrors, regardless of their type, shape, and material. So if you are looking for custom optical systems, or metal coated optical mirrors for sale, we can help!
Choosing the right option can be critical depending on the application, as it ensures the highest reflectivity for the desired wavelength range. We work with aluminum, reflective coatings, glass mirror coating, and dielectric coatings. The choice of the shape and material from which parabolic mirror optics, convex mirrors optics, fused silica, and others are made can be just as important. Regardless of the specifications, you can be sure that the final product will always achieve the required standards.
