The 37-292 is a high-quality off-axis parabolic mirror, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Edmund Optics. This mirror, with a diameter of 6.35mm and an effective focal length of 76.2mm, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems, including telescopes, beam directors, and other precision optical instruments.
The mirror's surface is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. This makes the mirror suitable for use in high-power applications. The mirror's off-axis angle is 90°, allowing for efficient light collection and focusing.
The mirror's coating is another notable feature. It is made from UV-enhanced aluminum, which provides high reflectivity across the UV spectrum. This coating is applied using a standard curve, ensuring consistent performance and durability.
The mirror's geometry is designed for precision. It has a parabolic shape with a radius of curvature of 76.2mm, providing a sharp focus for incoming light. The mirror's edge thickness (a) is 12.7mm, ensuring structural integrity and minimizing the risk of breakage.
