CM508-100-P01 Dia:2 in Concave Mirror; f=100.0 mm Protected Silver

The CM508-100-P01 is a concave mirror offered by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the optical components industry. This mirror, with a diameter of 2 inches (50.8 mm), is designed for use in a variety of optical systems due to its high-quality construction and precise specifications.

The mirror's concave shape, with a radius of curvature of -200 mm, provides a focal length of 100 mm. This makes it suitable for applications that require light convergence or divergence, such as imaging systems, beam expanders, or laser resonators.

The mirror is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice for optical components due to its excellent optical properties and chemical resistance. The base shape of the mirror is circular, providing symmetry and ease of alignment in optical systems.

The CM508-100-P01 features a protected silver coating (tho p01protsilrefl12) on the front surface. This coating enhances the mirror's reflectivity, particularly in the visible spectrum around 588 nm. The 'protected' nature of the coating ensures durability, reducing the risk of damage from environmental factors or handling.

The mirror has a thickness of 10.6 mm at the edge and 9 mm at the center, providing rigidity and stability. This thickness also aids in reducing potential distortions caused by the mirror's own weight.
