Mirror Shape




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Elliptical
 
     The flat mirror is elliptical in shape when viewed in the front or back.
 
   Rectangular / Square
 
     The flat mirror is square or rectangular in shape when viewed in the front or back.
 
   Round
 
     The flat mirror is round in shape when viewed in the front or back.
 
   Other
 
     Any other mirror shape not listed above.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Performance
The distance between the mirror and the point to which an incident bundle of parallel light rays will converge.



   Diameter/Width:
 
     Diameter is the mirror if viewed straight on. Could also be thought of as the height.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Thickness:
 
     The thickness of the mirror at its widest point.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Mirror Materials




          Mirror material refers to the classification of the material used to make the mirror. The material used influences the reflectivity characteristics of the mirror.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   BK7 Glass
 
     BK7 is boro-crown glass (borosilicate glass).
 
   Copper
 
     Copper is typically used in high power applications because of its high thermal conductivity.
 
   Fused Silica
 
     Fused silica has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and is ideal for use with moderately powered lasers or changing environmental conditions.
 
   Nickel
 
     Nickel is considerably more durable than glass substrates, both to thermal and physical damage.
 
   Optical Crown Glass
 
     Optical crown glass is typically used in non-imaging applications, including light gathering or conventional beam manipulation tasks. Crown glass is generally used when thermal stability is not a critical factor.
 
   Pyrex®
 
     Pyrex® can be used for a wide variety of mirror applications.  This material has good thermal stability. Pyrex is a registered trademark of Corning Incorporated.
 
   UV Grade Fused Silica
 
     UV grade fused silica is of higher quality than fused silica.
 
   Zerodur®
 
     Zerodur® is a glass-ceramic material that has great thermal stability. It is widely used in applications where the utmost in dimensional stability is needed. Zerodur is a registered trademark of Schott Glass Technologies, Inc.
 
   Other Mirror Material
 
     Any other mirror material not listed above.
 
   Search Logic:      Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Mirror Coatings




          Mirror coatings are used to enhance the reflectivity of a mirror.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Uncoated
 
     No coating on the mirror.
 
   Bare Aluminum
 
     Aluminum is an excellent reflector in the upper UV, visible, and near infrared. The surface is soft and must be handled with care.
 
   Enhanced Aluminum
 
     Enhanced aluminum has a multilayer film of dielectrics on top to enhance the reflectance in the visible or ultraviolet region. The multilayer film also provides the handling characteristics of the protected aluminum coating.
 
   Protected Aluminum
 
     Protected aluminum has a coating as an overcoat to protect the delicate aluminum. This treatment provides an abrasion resistant surface while maintaining the performance of aluminum.
 
   Dielectric
 
     Dielectric coatings are multi-layer coatings, which offer excellent performance over a specific wavelength range and are relatively insensitive to small angle changes. Dielectric coatings tend to be more durable than metal coatings.
 
   Bare Gold
 
     Gold coatings provide consistently high reflectance in the near-IR to far-IR, and are the most widely used material in these regions. Gold, however, is soft and easily scratched.
 
   Protected Gold
 
     Protected gold coatings provide consistently high reflectance in the near-IR to far-IR, and are the most widely used material in these regions. Gold, however, is soft and easily scratched. A protective overcoat provides an abrasive resistant surface, while maintaining the performance of the gold.
 
   Rhodium
 
     Rhodium coating has a reflectivity of approximately of 80% throughout the visible spectrum. Rhodium coated nickel is considerably more durable then glass substrates both to thermal and physical damage.
 
   Silver
 
     Silver coatings are superior in reflectance to aluminum. However, its strong tendency to oxidize and tarnish means that it must be thoroughly sealed from the atmosphere in order to avoid degradation.
 
   Other Mirror Coating
 
     Any other mirror coating not listed above.
 
   Search Logic:      Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Mirror Surface




   Surface Quality:      Surface quality of the filter glass.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   10-5 Scratch / Dig
 
     A dig is a defect on a polished optical surface that is nearly equal in terms of its length and width. A scratch is a defect on a polished optical surface whose length is many times its width. 10 / 5 indicates the average diameter of the digs to be .05 mm and the average length of a scratch is .10 mm.
 
   20-10 Scratch / Dig
 
     A dig is a defect on a polished optical surface that is nearly equal in terms of its length and width. A scratch is a defect on a polished optical surface whose length is many times its width. 20 / 10 indicates the average diameter of the digs to be .10 mm and the average length of a scratch is .20 mm.
 
   40-20 Scratch / Dig
 
     A dig is a defect on a polished optical surface that is nearly equal in terms of its length and width. A scratch is a defect on a polished optical surface whose length is many times its width. 40 / 20 indicates the average diameter of the digs to be .20 mm and the average length of a scratch is .40 mm.
 
   60-40 Scratch / Dig
 
     A dig is a defect on a polished optical surface that is nearly equal in terms of its length and width. A scratch is a defect on a polished optical surface whose length is many times its width. 60 / 40 indicates the average diameter of the digs to be .40 mm and the average length of a scratch is .60 mm.
 
   80-50 Scratch / Dig
 
     A dig is a defect on a polished optical surface that is nearly equal in terms of its length and width. A scratch is a defect on a polished optical surface whose length is many times its width. 80 / 50 indicates the average diameter of the digs to be .50 mm and the average length of a scratch is .80 mm.
 
   Other
 
     Any other Scratch / Dig surface quality rating.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
