The 32-074-000 is a precision parabolic mirror, boasting a substantial 203.2 mm diameter and a focal length of 1219.2 mm. This uncoated mirror is sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is available for immediate purchase.
The mirror's base shape is circular, and it is fabricated from borofloat33, a material known for its excellent optical properties. The geometry of the mirror includes a thickness of 34.8 mm at the edge and a radius of curvature of 2438.4 mm. The mirror's design is optimized for a wavelength of 588 nm.
The mirror's parabolic shape is a significant feature, offering superior light gathering capabilities and minimal spherical aberration compared to spherical mirrors. This makes it an ideal choice for various applications requiring high-precision optics, such as telescopes, laser systems, and interferometry.
Please note that the mirror is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or protective coatings. This may affect its performance in certain applications, particularly those involving high-intensity light sources. However, uncoated mirrors can offer advantages such as lower cost, higher damage threshold, and the ability to apply custom coatings based on specific application requirements.
