Dielectric mirrors are precision optical components designed for superior reflectivity across specific wavelengths through multi-layer interference coatings. Unlike metallic mirrors, dielectric mirrors offer high reflectance, low absorption, and enhanced durability, making them ideal for laser systems, scientific instrumentation, aerospace optics, and industrial applications. Their multilayer construction enables precise control over reflection properties, making them essential for advanced optical technologies.
Product Overview
The Dielectric Mirror is an optical element designed to enhance reflectivity by coating the surface with multiple layers of dielectric films. Each layer is carefully engineered to amplify the reflectance of specific wavelengths through interference effects. These mirrors offer extremely high reflectivity, often exceeding 99%, which is significantly higher than metal-coated mirrors. Dielectric mirrors are ideal for continuous wave and nanosecond lasers, and they operate across a broad range of wavelengths, including 266 nm, 355 nm, 532 nm, and 1064 nm. Due to their superior performance, dielectric mirrors are widely used in optical systems requiring high reflectivity and minimal energy loss.
