The CM508-1000-E02 is a concave mirror offered by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical components. This mirror, with a base shape of a circle, has a diameter of 50.8 millimeters and a thickness that varies from 9.2 millimeters at the edge to 9 millimeters at the center.
The mirror's geometry is characterized by an effective focal length (EFL) of 1000 millimeters and a radius of curvature (R1) of -2000 millimeters, indicating a strongly curved surface. The mirror is made of n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmission properties and low auto-fluorescence.
This mirror is designed to operate within the visible light spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 588 nanometers. It features a visible dielectric coating (E02VISIBLED40075) on the front surface, which enhances its reflectivity within the specified wavelength range. The coating is dielectric, meaning it is made of a non-conductive material, which reduces optical losses and increases the mirror's durability.
The mirror's shape is spherical, a common choice for many optical applications due to its ease of manufacturing and versatility. The mirror is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from Thorlabs via the provided web link.
