The DMLP950 Dia:1in Longpass Dichroic Mirror is a high-quality optical component manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of precision photonics. This mirror is designed to reflect and transmit light across a wide spectral range, making it an ideal choice for various applications in beam combining, laser pulse shaping, and optical imaging.
The mirror features a circular geometry with a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a thickness of 3.2 mm, providing a robust and compact design suitable for integration into different optical systems. It is made from UVFS material, identified by the Mal-1965 material ID, ensuring excellent optical performance and durability.
The DMLP950 mirror's coating is a crucial factor in its functionality. The front surface of the mirror is coated with a specialized dichroic coating, denoted as "tho dmlp950". This coating enables the mirror to reflect light below 950 nm while transmitting light above this wavelength, resulting in a longpass behavior. This property is particularly useful in applications where the user wants to separate or combine different spectral components of an optical signal.
The mirror's shape is defined as a thin lens, which implies that it may have some lens-like properties, such as a focal length, although this information is not provided in the item data. Nonetheless, the DMLP950 mirror's primary function is to act as a dichroic mirror, providing efficient and reliable spectral separation or combination.
