1064nm Laser Mirrors provide high-reflectivity optical surfaces for laser beam steering, alignment, and general optical systems. PhotonEdge mirrors are manufactured with precision substrates and controlled coating processes to ensure reliable performance.
Select the optimal substrate material based on your wavelength, environment, and budget requirements.
| Material | Transmission | Key Advantage | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| BK7 | VIS / NIR substrate | Standard substrate for visible mirrors | Not for UV or IR |
| UV Fused Silica | UV / VIS / NIR substrate | Low thermal expansion, high LIDT | Higher cost |
| Float Glass | VIS substrate | Economy choice for visible mirrors | Lower optical quality |

Key factors to evaluate when specifying this optical component for your system.
Verify reflectance meets your system throughput requirements. Factor in both reflection losses and absorption.
Specify angle of incidence for proper coating design. Non-normal AOI causes S/P polarization differences.
For laser applications, specify power density and pulse parameters to ensure coating durability.
Handle mirrors by edges only. Clean with compressed gas first, then optical-grade solvents if needed.
Beam delivery, focusing, and conditioning for industrial and scientific laser systems.
Wafer inspection, lithography support, and process control optics.
Image formation in inspection systems and quality control cameras.
Laboratory optics, teaching setups, and experimental beam paths.
PhotonEdge supports optical component sourcing, engineering review, and qualified manufacturing through our optical manufacturing network. We coordinate production, coating, and inspection to deliver components that meet your specifications.
Diameter, thickness, focal length verified per specification
Scratch-dig inspection under calibrated illumination
Spectrophotometric measurement of transmission/reflectance
Inspection documentation available according to project requirements. Certificates of Conformance, material test reports, and coating curves can be provided.
The following documentation is available upon request for qualified engineering projects:
CAD & dimensional specs per your requirements
Material properties, transmission curves & certificates
Spectrophotometric measurement data
Surface quality, flatness, centration & dimensional data
CoC with full traceability per project requirements
Application-specific specification documentation
Documentation availability depends on project scope and order quantity. Request details during RFQ.
Reflectivity depends on the coating: Protected Silver > 97% (400-2000nm), Protected Al > 90% (250-2000nm), Dielectric HR > 99.9% at design wavelength.
LIDT depends on coating type. Dielectric HR coatings typically have the highest LIDT. Specify your laser parameters for proper coating selection.
Standard substrates include BK7, UV Fused Silica, and Float Glass. For IR applications, we offer Cu, Mo, and Si substrates.
Yes. Specify the angle of incidence (AOI) for proper coating design. S-polarization and P-polarization have different reflectance at oblique angles.
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.
Standard catalog mirrors ship within 1-2 weeks. Custom-coated mirrors typically require 3-4 weeks.
Dielectric 1064nm mirrors have high LIDT. Specify your laser parameters (power, pulse duration, rep rate) for proper selection.
