BK7 optical mirrors are reflective optical components fabricated from N-BK7 glass substrates with high-reflection coatings. BK7 provides excellent surface quality and dimensional stability for visible and near-infrared applications.
Use BK7 mirrors when you need cost-effective reflective optics for visible to near-IR systems with moderate power levels. Ideal for beam steering, imaging systems, and laboratory setups where thermal load is not the primary concern.

All materials are available in standard and custom thicknesses. Browse all 30+ optical materials
Single-layer or multi-layer AR coatings for specific wavelength bands. Reduce reflection to below 0.5% per surface.
Dielectric HR coatings for laser mirrors and cavity optics. Reflectivity >99.5% at design wavelength.
BBAR coatings for wide spectral range applications. Low reflection across 400-700nm or other bands.
Optimized for specific laser wavelengths: 266nm, 355nm, 532nm, 1064nm, 10.6µm, etc.
Custom coating designs for unique wavelength ranges, angles of incidence, and polarization requirements.
Material and coating selection must be matched to your operating wavelength band. We can help optimize for single-wavelength or broadband use.
Surface quality, flatness, and centration tolerances directly impact cost. Our engineers can help balance performance requirements with manufacturability.
High-power or wide temperature range applications require careful material selection to minimize thermal lensing and wavefront distortion.
For harsh environments, consider material chemical resistance, coating durability, and packaging options. We can provide MIL-spec testing on request.
Every component undergoes comprehensive inspection before shipment. Our quality control process includes:
