The 84-433 is a 35mm diameter metallic mirror, specifically a protected gold coated mirror, sourced from Edmund Optics. This mirror is designed for use within the wavelength range of 700-10000nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the infrared spectrum.
The mirror's geometry is circular with a thickness of 5mm, providing a robust and stable platform for optical systems. It is made from fused silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties, high damage threshold, and chemical resistance. This makes the mirror ideal for use in harsh environments where durability and stability are paramount.
The mirror's front surface is coated with a protected gold coating, identified as 'edm prgold 700-10000'. This coating is designed to enhance the mirror's reflectivity within the specified wavelength range. The 'protected' nature of the coating ensures that it is resistant to oxidation and other forms of environmental degradation, further enhancing the mirror's longevity and reliability.
The mirror is classified as a thin lens, suggesting that it has been specifically designed to minimize optical aberrations and distortions. This is particularly important in applications where high precision and accuracy are required, such as in imaging systems, interferometers, and spectrometers.
