Protected Gold provides excellent, broadband infrared high reflectance, Protected Silver provides higher reflectance than aluminum throughout the visible and near IR, Protected Aluminum is economical solution for VIS applications, UV enhanced Aluminum provides good reflectance over a wide range and are mainly used in UV applications.

 

Applications: 

Sensors, Projection Systems, Far Infrared Laser, Beam Steering, Interferometry, Imaging, Illumination, Life Sciences, Astronomy, Metrology, Semiconductor, Solar, etc. 

 

Description:

Standard metallic mirror coatings include Protected Aluminum, Enhanced Aluminum, UV Enhanced Aluminum, Protected Gold and Protected Silver. Protected Aluminum and Enhanced Aluminum are typically used for visible applications. UV Enhanced Aluminum can be used for UV and visible applications. Protected Gold offers high reflectance for Infrared or near-Infrared wavelengths. Protected Silver provides the highest reflectance between 500-800nm but is best suited as a rear surface reflector due to its sensitivity to tarnishing.

 

High-quality, metal-coated optical mirrors are available for use with light throughout the UV, VIS, and IR spectral regions. The metallic mirror coatings have high reflectivity over the widest spectral region with an average reflectivity throughout the specified region greater than 99%. 

 

Mirror is an object with a surface that has good specular reflection. that is, it is smooth enough to form an image. The most familiar type of mirror is the plane mirror, which has a flat surface. Curved mirror are also used, to produce magnified or demagnified images or focus light or simply distort the reflected image. Its sufaces can be coated by Aluminum or Silver or Gold
