This off-axis parabolic mirror, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for a variety of applications. With a diameter of 12.7 mm and a protected aluminum coating, it offers a balance of durability and performance.
The mirror has an effective focal length (EFL) of 25.4 mm, which is the distance from the mirror's surface to its focal point. This EFL, combined with the mirror's off-axis angle of 90°, makes it suitable for use in systems where a direct line of sight is not possible or desirable.
The mirror is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a common and reliable material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and chemical resistance. The mirror's geometry, including its 12.7 mm diameter and 19.05 mm aperture, is designed to provide a high level of optical performance.
The protected aluminum coating on the mirror's front surface enhances its durability and resistance to environmental factors. This coating has a reflectivity of 87% at a wavelength of 588 nm, making it suitable for use in systems that operate in this wavelength range.
