64-017 40mm Dia. Enhanced Aluminum Coated Mirror for 450-650nm Wavelengths

The 64-017 is a 40mm diameter metallic mirror with an enhanced aluminum coating, specifically designed for use within the wavelength range of 450-650nm. This mirror, offered by Edmund Optics, is an excellent choice for applications that require high reflectivity and durability.

The mirror's geometry is circular with a thickness of 5mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems. It is made from fused silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties, high damage threshold, and chemical resistance. This ensures the mirror's longevity and reliability, even under demanding conditions.

The enhanced aluminum coating on the front surface of the mirror provides a high reflectivity of 96% at 588nm, ensuring optimal performance in its designated wavelength range. This coating is designed to maintain a low scatter level, which is crucial for applications that require high contrast and minimal stray light.

The mirror is classified as a thin lens, indicating that its thickness is significantly less than its diameter. This feature allows for easier integration into various optical systems, reducing the need for extensive reconfiguration.
