Optical Coating Options

Dielectric HR 1064nm

R > 99.9% at 1064nm. High LIDT for Nd:YAG/fiber lasers.

Typical use: Nd:YAG and fiber laser systems

HR 1064nm + 532nm

Dual-band HR for fundamental + second harmonic.

Typical use: Dual-wavelength Nd:YAG systems

Output Coupler

Partial reflector at 1064nm (T = 1-20%).

Typical use: Laser cavity output couplers

How to Specify Your Coating

To select the right coating, please provide: (1) Operating wavelength, (2) Angle of incidence, (3) Required transmission or reflectivity, (4) Laser power density (if applicable), (5) Operating environment.

Engineering Considerations

Key factors to evaluate when specifying this optical component for your system.

Reflectivity

Verify reflectance meets your system throughput requirements. Factor in both reflection losses and absorption.

AOI

Specify angle of incidence for proper coating design. Non-normal AOI causes S/P polarization differences.

LIDT

For laser applications, specify power density and pulse parameters to ensure coating durability.

Handling

Handle mirrors by edges only. Clean with compressed gas first, then optical-grade solvents if needed.

Applications

Laser Systems

Beam delivery, focusing, and conditioning for industrial and scientific laser systems.

Semiconductor

Wafer inspection, lithography support, and process control optics.

Machine Vision

Image formation in inspection systems and quality control cameras.

Research & Education

Laboratory optics, teaching setups, and experimental beam paths.

Frequently Asked Questions

What reflectivity can I expect?

Reflectivity depends on the coating: Protected Silver > 97% (400-2000nm), Protected Al > 90% (250-2000nm), Dielectric HR > 99.9% at design wavelength.

What is the laser damage threshold?

LIDT depends on coating type. Dielectric HR coatings typically have the highest LIDT. Specify your laser parameters for proper coating selection.

What substrates are available?

Standard substrates include BK7, UV Fused Silica, and Float Glass. For IR applications, we offer Cu, Mo, and Si substrates.

Can mirrors be used at non-normal incidence?

Yes. Specify the angle of incidence (AOI) for proper coating design. S-polarization and P-polarization have different reflectance at oblique angles.

How should I handle and clean mirrors?

Handle by edges only. Use compressed gas for dust removal. For smudges, use optical-grade cleaning solvents with lint-free wipes. Avoid touching coated surfaces.

What is the lead time for custom mirrors?

Standard catalog mirrors ship within 1-2 weeks. Custom-coated mirrors typically require 3-4 weeks.

Can this mirror handle high power?

Dielectric 1064nm mirrors have high LIDT. Specify your laser parameters (power, pulse duration, rep rate) for proper selection.
