The 36-601 is a high-quality Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This mirror, with a diameter of 76.2 mm, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems, particularly those requiring precise off-axis reflectivity and minimal aberration.
The mirror's geometry is defined by a 38.1 mm PFL (Pupil Focal Length) and an EFL (Effective Focal Length) of 76.2 mm, making it suitable for a variety of applications. The off-axis angle is 90°, ensuring efficient light collection and reflection. The mirror's a value is 83.82, and it has a radius of curvature of 76.2 mm.
The mirror is made from N-BK7 Schott, a high-grade optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and durability. The front surface of the mirror is coated with edm dprotsil3001000, a protected silver coating that enhances its reflectivity in the 450-10000 nm wavelength range. This coating ensures high damage threshold and longevity, making the mirror ideal for use in harsh environments.
The mirror's Off-Axis Parabolic shape is a significant feature, providing superior optical performance compared to traditional spherical mirrors. It minimizes spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism, delivering sharp, clear images.
