Custom spherical concave mirrors for reflective focusing, imaging, and collimation.
Product Overview
A spherical concave mirror has a reflective surface curved inward as a section of a sphere.
It converges incident light to form a focus or image, or approximately collimates light from a source near its paraxial focal point.
Substrate material, aperture, thickness, radius of curvature, focal length, surface figure, and reflective coating can be specified to match the optical design.
Applications
- Spectroscopic Instruments: Collects light from a source or sample and focuses it onto an entrance slit or detector.
- Laser Resonators: Provides focusing feedback that helps define the cavity mode in a resonator designed for spherical mirrors.
- Optical Test Benches: Forms a converging beam or a near-collimated beam for component testing and alignment.
- Reflecting Telescopes: Collects and focuses incoming light in spherical-primary designs with suitable aberration control.
