This is a 35-730-000 317.5 mm Dia. Borofloat Precision Parabolic Mirror, featuring an effective focal length (EFL) of 3175mm and uncoated. The mirror is sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics.
The mirror is designed in a parabolic shape, which is a type of concave mirror. This particular shape is crucial in optical systems as it focuses all incoming light to a single point, irrespective of the light's entry point into the system. This property makes parabolic mirrors ideal for various applications, including telescopes, solar energy concentration, and satellite dish antennas.
The mirror has a diameter of 317.5mm and a thickness at the edge of 54.1mm. The radius of curvature is 6350mm. The mirror is made of borofloat33, a type of glass known for its high thermal resistance and excellent transmission properties in the visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum.
The mirror is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the user wants to apply their own coating or where a coating may not be necessary.
The mirror's web link is valid and in stock, indicating its availability for immediate purchase and use. This mirror would be an excellent addition to any optical system requiring a high-quality, precision parabolic mirror.
