NB1-L01 Dia:1in CO2 Laser Line Mirror; 10.6 µm; Bare Gold Coating

The NB1-L01 is a circular metallic mirror designed for use with CO2 lasers, featuring a wavelength of 10.6 µm. This mirror, sourced from Thorlabs, is a crucial component in various optical systems, particularly those utilizing CO2 lasers for material processing, scientific research, or other applications.

The mirror has a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a thickness of 6 mm, making it a compact yet robust option for various setups. Its base shape is circular, a common choice for mirrors due to its uniform reflective surface and ease of integration into optical systems.

The mirror's coating is a bare gold coating, specifically the tho l01 bare gold 12 variant. Gold is often used in optical applications due to its high reflectivity across a wide range of wavelengths, including the infrared region where CO2 lasers operate. The 'bare' nature of the coating indicates that it does not have any additional protective layers, which could affect its longevity in certain environments.

The mirror is shaped as a thin lens, suggesting that it may have some focusing capabilities. However, this is not explicitly stated in the provided data, so users should consult the manufacturer's specifications or contact Thorlabs directly for more detailed information.
