This off-axis parabolic mirror, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for use in a wide range of applications. With a diameter of 101.6mm and a PFL (pupil flat to lens) dimension of 76.2mm, it offers a substantial surface area for light reflection while maintaining a manageable size for integration into various systems.
The mirror boasts an effective focal length (EFL) of 152.4mm, which, combined with its off-axis angle of 90°, allows for precise control over the path of incoming light rays. This configuration is particularly useful in applications requiring wide-angle or off-axis observations, such as astronomical telescopes or beam shaping systems.
The mirror is crafted from N-BK7 Schott glass, a material renowned for its excellent optical properties and versatility. This material ensures high transmission across a broad spectrum, making the mirror suitable for use with a wide range of wavelengths, including the visible light spectrum.
The mirror's surface is coated with a protected gold coating, specifically designed for the 700-10000nm wavelength range. This coating enhances the mirror's reflectivity, ensuring optimal performance in its intended application. The 'protected' nature of the coating also provides additional durability, helping to safeguard the mirror against environmental factors and potential damage during handling or operation.
