What Is an
Optical Mirror?
Optical mirrors are precision optical components designed to reflect light with high efficiency and minimal wavefront distortion. They are critical elements in optical systems for beam steering, folding optical paths, directing laser beams, and imaging applications across UV, visible, and infrared wavelength ranges.
Unlike decorative or standard reflective surfaces, optical mirrors require
optical-grade substrates, controlled surface accuracy, and high-performance coatings to ensure stable and repeatable system performance.
Substrate Material Options
We manufacture optical mirrors using a wide range of optical-grade substrates to match different wavelength and environmental requirements:
Optical Glass (BK7, High-Index Glass)
Fused Silica / Quartz (low thermal expansion)
IR Substrates (Silicon, Germanium)
Metal Substrates (for thermal management or structural strength)
Material selection can be optimized based on
wavelength range, thermal stability, power density, and mechanical constraints.
