The 35-509 is a high-quality Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This mirror, with a diameter of 50.8mm, is designed for use in a wide range of applications, particularly those requiring precise light reflection and focusing.
The mirror's geometry is defined by a 38.1mm pixel-free length (PFL) and an effective focal length (EFL) of 76.2mm. The off-axis angle is 90 degrees, making it suitable for applications requiring off-axis reflectivity. The mirror's a value is 57.15, and it has a radius of curvature of 76.2mm.
The mirror is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and durability. The front surface of the mirror is coated with EDM PRGold 700-10000, a protected gold coating that enhances its reflectivity in the 700-10000nm wavelength range. This coating ensures high-quality performance and longevity, making the mirror ideal for use in various optical systems.
The mirror's Off-Axis Parabolic shape is a type of curved mirror that reflects light rays parallel to its axis to a single point, the focus. This makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring precise light focusing, such as beam shaping, laser applications, and optical imaging systems.
