The 43-416-533 is a high-quality metallic mirror, sourced from Edmund Optics, boasting a 50.80 mm diameter and a thickness of 12.7 mm. This mirror is designed for use in the visible spectrum, specifically optimized for wavelengths between 450 and 650 nanometers.
The mirror's surface is made from fused silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties, including a low coefficient of thermal expansion and high resistance to thermal shock. This makes the mirror ideal for use in environments with fluctuating temperatures.
The mirror's coating is an enhanced aluminum coating, denoted as "edm denh al stdcurve" in the item data. This coating provides high reflectivity across the specified wavelength range, ensuring optimal performance in its intended application. The coating is also designed to have a lambda/20 surface quality, indicating a very low surface roughness, which further enhances its reflective properties.
The mirror's geometry is that of a thin lens, which is beneficial in applications where weight and thickness are critical factors. Despite its thinness, the mirror maintains excellent rigidity and stability, ensuring accurate and consistent performance.
