This is a Protected Gold Spherical Plano-Convex Mirror, sourced from EKSMA Optics, a renowned vendor in the optical components industry. The mirror boasts a diameter of 25.4 mm and a center thickness of 6 mm, making it a compact yet robust option for various applications.
The mirror's curvature is defined by a radius of 400 mm, resulting in a spherical shape. This curvature, combined with its plano-convex design, allows for efficient light reflection and focusing. The effective focal length (EFL) of this mirror is 200 mm, further enhancing its focusing capabilities.
The mirror is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. This material is suitable for use across a wide range of wavelengths, but this particular mirror is designed for use at 900 nm.
The front surface of the mirror is coated with EKS 0030protgold900, a protected gold coating. This coating ensures high reflectivity in the infrared region, making it ideal for applications such as thermal imaging, beam combining, and other infrared-based systems.
