This is a TFAE-30C05-10 30 mm Dia. N-BK7 UV Enhanced Aluminum Flat Mirror, a high-quality optical component sourced from OptoSigma. The mirror has a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 5 mm, making it a robust and stable option for various optical applications.
The mirror is made of N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as Schott glass, is widely used in the optical industry due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion, high homogeneity, and excellent transmittance in the UV region.
The mirror's coating is a UV enhanced aluminum coating, applied to the front surface at an angle of incidence of 45 degrees. This coating enhances the mirror's reflectivity in the UV region, specifically between 170 and 400 nm. The coating is of high quality, ensuring a high degree of reflectivity and durability.
The mirror is classified as a metallic mirror, which means it reflects light using a metal coating. Metallic mirrors are known for their high reflectivity and durability, making them suitable for various applications, including beam splitting, laser applications, and interferometry.
The mirror's shape is that of a thin lens, which means it has a flat surface and a curved back surface. This shape is often used in optical systems where a flat mirror is required. The mirror's thin lens shape also contributes to its lightweight and ease of integration into optical systems.
