The 11-079 25.4mm Dia. 488nm 0°; Low Cost Laser Line Mirror Dielectric is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This mirror, designed for use with laser systems, is a dielectric mirror, which means it utilizes multiple layers of dielectric material to reflect light.
The mirror has a base shape of a circle, with a diameter of 25.4mm, providing a large surface area for light reflection. It has a thickness of 6.35mm, making it suitable for various optical applications. The mirror is made from n-bk7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmission properties and low auto-fluorescence.
The mirror is coated with a front coating of edm lm 488 11-079, specifically designed to reflect light at a wavelength of 488nm. This makes it ideal for use with argon-ion lasers, which commonly emit light at this wavelength. The mirror is designed to operate at a 0° angle of incidence, ensuring optimal reflection performance.
The mirror is shaped as a thin lens, which means it has a very small thickness compared to its diameter. This shape is often used in optical systems where a flat mirror is not suitable due to space constraints or other design considerations.
