This 8-inch (203.20 mm) diameter Protected Silver Flat Mirror, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for use in a wide range of applications. The mirror boasts a protected silver coating on the front surface, which is specifically designed to provide excellent reflectivity in the 450-10000nm wavelength range. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require broadband reflection, such as in laser systems, interferometry, and optical testing.
The mirror is made from fused silica, a material known for its exceptional optical properties, including high transparency, low autofluorescence, and excellent thermal stability. This ensures that the mirror delivers reliable and consistent performance, even in challenging environmental conditions. The mirror has a thickness of 38.1 mm, which provides rigidity and stability, making it suitable for use in high-precision applications.
The mirror is designed in a circular geometry, with a diameter of 203.20 mm, providing a large, flat surface for reflection. The thin lens shape of the mirror ensures that it can be easily integrated into optical systems, while its protected silver coating provides excellent durability and resistance to tarnish and oxidation.
