Hot Mirrors provide near infrared (NIR) blocking.

Press Release Summary:




HTM-Series products block wavelength region from 750-1,000 nm and allow passage of visible wavelengths with 80% or greater average transmission. They can be optimized for 0° or 45° operation and are available in 1.0 and 2.0 in. dia as well as 2 x 2 in. square sizes. Applications include microscopy, color measurement, CCD imaging, and various life science applications.



Original Press Release:



High-Performance Hot Mirrors / NIR Blockers



Acton Research Corporation is pleased to introduce the HTM-Series of Hot Mirrors. These durable, high-performance, near-infrared (NIR) blockers provide high average visible transmission with excellent near infrared (NIR) blocking.

HTM-Series Hot Mirrors are designed to block the wavelength region from 750-1000nm (0.30% or lower average transmission), while passing visible wavelengths with 80% or greater average transmission. They can be optimized for zero or 45 degree operation and are available in standard 1.0" and 2.0" diameters, as well as 2x2" square sizes. Acton Research maintains a stock supply of 2"x2" hot mirrors optimized for normal incidence operation and can produce high volumes for OEM applications. Uses for these optics include microscopy, color measurement, CCD imaging, as well as various life science applications. Please contact Acton Research with your specific requirements.

Acton Research Corporation manufactures and distributes across a broad spectral, geographic and market range. Acton's optical components and coatings have been used in applications ranging from excimer laser eye correction (LASIK) and DUV lithography to analytical and biomedical instrumentation. Acton instrumentation includes monochromators, spectrographs and complete spectroscopy systems used worldwide for industrial OEM and research applications.
