Dielectric and Laser Mirrors feature thin film coatings.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:39:43 -0500

Coated via ion beam sputtering (IBS) process with multi-layers of dielectric materials, ultra-broadband dielectric mirrors provide over 99% reflection and are stable over broadband wavelength range. Nd:YAG laser mirrors with HE.1 and HE.2 coatings are manufactured using high-purity fused silica substrates and ultra hard IBS coatings. They come in 25.4 mm dia for 1,064 and 532 nm laser lines, which can withstand energy fluence up to 40 J/cm² and 8 J/cm², respectively.

Optical Flats can be used as flatness references or windows.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 07:33:47 -0500

Offered with precision surfaces on one or both sides, Fused Silica flats maintain flatness of λ/10 or λ/20. Diameter ranges from 25-200 mm for single- and dual-sided versions with λ/10 flatness and thicknesses up to 38 mm at 200 mm dia. Select sizes are offered with flatness of λ/20 for single-sided applications. Also available, BK7 flats have specified flatness of λ/4 or better and are suited for less demanding applications.
