Reflective geometry
Use plane mirrors for routing and concave, cylindrical or off-axis parabolic mirrors for reflective focusing.
PRODUCT FAMILY
Metallic & Specialty Mirrors
Metallic and specialty mirrors provide broadband reflection across visible and infrared regions.
Plane, elliptical, D-shaped and prism-mirror formats address general beam routing, tight packaging and applications where clear aperture geometry matters.

SELECTION QUESTIONS
Metallic & Specialty Mirrors FAQ
Technical answers to the questions that most often affect model selection.
Should I choose a metallic or dielectric mirror?
Metallic coatings provide broad spectral coverage and are useful when one mirror must serve a wide band. Dielectric mirrors provide higher reflectance in a defined wavelength and angle range, but their performance is more sensitive to spectral band, polarization and angle of incidence.
When is a focusing mirror preferable to a lens?
A concave, cylindrical or off-axis parabolic mirror focuses without chromatic aberration. Reflective focusing is useful for broadband, ultraviolet and infrared systems, or where refractive material absorption would limit throughput.
Which mirror specifications matter most?
Match coating, wavelength, angle of incidence and polarization first. Then verify surface figure, surface quality, substrate, clear aperture and geometry. High-power laser systems must also check laser-induced damage threshold and coating absorption.
Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?
Send your material, wavelength, dimensions and quantity for review.
