The CM127-050-F01 is a concave mirror offered by Thorlabs, a leading global manufacturer of photonics equipment. This mirror, with a diameter of 12.7 mm, is designed for use in optical systems that require a curved mirror with a high degree of precision.
The mirror's concave shape, defined by a radius of curvature (R1) of -100 mm, provides a focal length (EFL) of 50 mm. This means that light rays parallel to the mirror's axis will converge at a point 50 mm from the mirror's surface. The mirror's thickness varies from 3.2 mm at the edge to 3 mm at the center, providing structural rigidity while minimizing weight.
The mirror is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The front surface of the mirror is coated with Thorlabs' UV-enhanced aluminum coating (Tho F01UVE NHAL Refl12), which is designed to enhance reflectivity in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This coating provides high reflectivity while maintaining excellent durability and resistance to environmental factors.
The mirror's spherical shape ensures that light rays are reflected accurately, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including imaging systems, interferometers, and laser systems. The mirror is currently in stock and available for immediate shipping, as indicated by its valid web link status.
