83-493 12.7mm Dia. Protected Gold Mirror Protected Gold 700-10000nm

The 83-493 is a 12.7mm diameter metallic mirror from Edmund Optics, specifically designed for use in the 700-10000nm wavelength range. This mirror is a protected gold mirror, which means it has a thin layer of gold deposited on it, protected by a layer of dielectric material. This configuration provides excellent reflectivity in the specified wavelength range, making it ideal for various applications such as beam steering, imaging, and spectroscopy.

The mirror has a base shape of a circle, which is a common shape for optical elements due to its symmetry and ease of manufacturing. The geometry of the mirror includes a diameter of 12.7mm and a thickness of 2mm, making it a thin lens. The material used for the mirror substrate is soda lime ru clear, a common material for optical elements due to its high transparency and mechanical strength.

The mirror is coated on the front side with the EDM PRGOLD 700-10000 coating, which provides the high reflectivity in the specified wavelength range. The mirror is listed as being in stock on the Edmund Optics website, making it readily available for purchase and use in various optical systems.
