This is a 108 mm diameter parabolic mirror from Edmund Optics, designed for precision applications. The mirror is made from borofloat33, a high-quality glass commonly used in optical systems due to its excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance.
The mirror's geometry is defined by a focal length (EFL) of 647.7 mm, making it suitable for use in systems where a long focal length is required. The mirror's thickness at the edge is 19.1 mm, providing rigidity and stability. The radius of curvature is 1295.4 mm, which is a crucial parameter in determining the mirror's optical performance.
The mirror's surface is coated with a protected aluminum coating, specifically edm dprotal300200000, which provides high reflectivity across a wide spectral range, from 400 to 2000 nm. This makes the mirror versatile and suitable for use in various applications, including but not limited to, spectroscopy, beam shaping, and imaging systems.
The mirror's parabolic shape is another critical feature. Parabolic mirrors are used to collect or focus light at a single point, the focal point. They are often used in applications where high precision and accuracy are required, such as in telescopes, lasers, and interferometers.
