35-572 76.2mm Dia. x 101.6mm EFL; 90° Protected Gold 100A; Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror Protected Gold 700-10000nm

The 35-572 is a high-quality Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This mirror, with a diameter of 76.2mm, is designed for use in a wide range of applications, particularly where off-axis performance is critical.

The mirror's geometry is defined by a 50.8mm PFL (Pupil Fore Length), 101.6mm EFL (Effective Focal Length), and a 90° off-axis angle. The off-axis design allows for superior performance compared to traditional parabolic mirrors, particularly in applications where the optical axis is not aligned with the mechanical axis.

The mirror is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The front surface of the mirror is coated with EDM PRGold 700-10000, a protected gold coating that provides high reflectivity across the 700-10000nm wavelength range. This coating ensures optimal performance in infrared applications.

The mirror's shape, an Off-Axis Parabolic, is designed to collect or focus light from a source that is offset from the optical axis. This design is particularly useful in applications such as beam shaping, off-axis imaging, and laser systems.
