68-320 50mm Square UV Enhanced Aluminum Coated Mirror

The 68-320 50mm Square UV Enhanced Aluminum Coated Mirror is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This mirror is designed for use in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, with a wavelength of 588nm, making it ideal for applications that require precise reflection in the UV range.

The mirror is made from fused silica, specifically fused sil mal-1965, which is known for its excellent optical properties and durability. The base shape of the mirror is rectangular, with a size of 50mm x 50mm, providing a large surface area for reflection. The mirror has a thickness of 5mm, which is sufficient for most applications and helps to minimize distortion.

The mirror is coated with enhanced aluminum on the front surface, which provides a high reflectivity across the UV spectrum. The coating is denoted as "edm denh al stdcurve", indicating a standard curve for enhanced aluminum coatings. This coating ensures that the mirror provides a consistent and reliable reflection, even after extended use.

The mirror is classified as a metallic mirror, which means it reflects light using a metallic coating rather than a dielectric coating. Metallic mirrors are often used in applications where high reflectivity is required, such as in lasers, interferometers, and other precision optical systems.

The mirror is shaped as a thin lens, which helps to minimize optical aberrations and provides a flat, even reflection surface. This shape is particularly useful in applications where a flat, undistorted image is required, such as in imaging systems or beam directors.
