This 12 mm diameter Plano-Convex Spherical Mirror is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. It is designed with a convex base shape and a spherical geometry, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The mirror has an enhanced aluminum coating on the front surface, optimized for the wavelength range of 450-650nm.
The mirror's geometry features a 12 mm diameter and a thickness of 1.79mm at the edge, increasing to 3mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 7.75mm, providing a precise focus for incoming light rays. The mirror's curvature is defined by a radius of 15.5mm (R1), contributing to its excellent optical performance.
The mirror is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice for its high refractive index and low dispersion. This makes it an ideal material for various optical systems, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications.
The enhanced aluminum coating on the front surface ensures high reflectivity and durability. This coating is specifically designed to enhance the mirror's performance in the 450-650nm wavelength range, making it suitable for applications such as fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, and other applications where specific wavelengths need to be isolated or enhanced.
