Dielectric Mirrors – High Reflectivity & Laser Damage Resistance for Precision Laser Systems

 

Description:

Dielectric Mirrors (also known as interference mirrors) are constructed from multiple layers of thin dielectric films, which reflect light via constructive interference while transmitting unwanted wavelengths. They offer extremely high reflectivity (>99%) at specific target wavelengths and excellent laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), making them ideal for high-power laser systems, fiber lasers, and precision optical instruments.

 

Materials:

Fused Silica: Preferred substrate for high-power laser applications due to ultra-low thermal expansion and high LIDT

BK7: Cost-effective substrate for lower-power laser and general optical systems Sapphire: High thermal conductivity and hardness for extreme environmental conditions

 

Highlights:

Customizable wavelength range (UV: 200–400nm, VIS: 400–700nm, NIR: 700–1700nm, MIR: 2–10µm)

Ultra-high reflectivity (>99.5% at target wavelength)

Low absorption and scatter, minimizing thermal load

High LIDT, suitable for nanosecond, picosecond, and femtosecond lasers

Custom angle of incidence (AOI) design (0°, 45°, 56°, etc.)
