The 36-592 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 88.9 mm pupil size (PFL) and an effective focal length (EFL) of 177.8 mm, making it suitable for systems requiring a long focal length. The off-axis angle is 90 degrees, indicating that the mirror's optical axis is perpendicular to its mechanical axis. This feature is particularly beneficial in systems where the chief ray does not pass through the mirror's center.
The mirror is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and versatility. The front surface of the mirror is coated with edm dprotsil3001000, a protected silver coating that provides high reflectivity across the spectral range of 450-10000 nm. This broadband coating ensures optimal performance in a wide range of wavelengths.
