This 50 mm diameter concave mirror, sourced from Edmund Optics, offers a focal length of 100mm, making it ideal for a variety of optical applications. The mirror is constructed from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold.
The mirror's geometry is spherical, with both radii of curvature (r1 and r2) measuring -200mm, indicating a concave-convex design. This unique shape can provide interesting optical effects when used correctly. The mirror has a thickness of 6mm at the edge, ensuring structural integrity and minimizing potential distortions.
The mirror's coating is a protected gold coating, designed to reflect light in the 700-10000nm wavelength range. This broadband coating ensures high reflectivity across a wide spectrum, making it suitable for various applications, including infrared spectroscopy and imaging.
