36-588 25.4 mm Dia. x 76.2mm EFL; 90° Protected Silver 100A; Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror Protected Silver 450-10000nm

The 36-588 is a high-quality Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This mirror, with a diameter of 25.4 mm, 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 38.1 mm pupil diameter (PFL) and an effective focal length (EFL) of 76.2 mm. The off-axis angle is 90 degrees, making it suitable for applications requiring a high degree of optical precision. The mirror's shape, a parabola, is designed to collect or focus light from a point source at a single focal point, making it ideal for use in reflective optics systems.

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 a protected silver coating, identified as edm dprotsil3001000, which enhances its reflectivity across the spectral range of 450-10000 nm. This broadband coating ensures high-performance reflectivity, making it suitable for a wide range of wavelengths.

The mirror's protective silver coating is rated at 100A, indicating its durability and resistance to environmental factors. This makes the mirror suitable for use in various conditions, enhancing its versatility and reliability.
