This 15-491 optical mirror, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a 50 mm diameter first surface flat mirror with a thickness of 3mm. The mirror is made of soda lime ru clear glass, a common material for optical elements due to its excellent transparency and durability.
The mirror's coating is rhodium, which is applied to the front surface. Rhodium is a noble metal known for its high reflectivity across a wide spectrum, ranging from 400 to 10000nm. This makes the mirror suitable for a variety of applications, including but not limited to, spectroscopy, interferometry, and beam manipulation.
The mirror is designed in the shape of a thin lens, which is a type of lens where the thickness is much less than the diameter. This design helps to minimize optical aberrations and provides a flat, uniform reflective surface.
