This is a 17-783 40 x 40 mm Zerodur λ/10 First Surface Flat Mirror, featuring a thickness of 5mm and an enhanced aluminum coating designed for the wavelength range of 450-650nm. The mirror is sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is currently in stock with valid weblinks provided for easy access to additional information.
The mirror is rectangular in shape, with a width and length of 40mm each, making it a compact yet powerful optical component. It is made from Zerodur, a high-quality material from Schott, known for its excellent thermal stability and low thermal expansion coefficient. This makes the mirror ideal for applications that require precise and consistent optical performance, such as interferometry, beam shaping, and laser systems.
The enhanced aluminum coating on the front surface of the mirror is designed to improve its reflectivity and durability. This coating is specifically tailored for the wavelength range of 450-650nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications in this spectrum. The mirror is classified as a metallic mirror, which is known for its high reflectivity and ease of cleaning.
The mirror is shaped as a thin lens, which is a type of lens where the thickness of the lens is much smaller than the diameter of the lens. This shape further contributes to the mirror's compactness and ease of integration into optical systems.
