Scratch-resistant mirror with gold surface Newly-developed metal coating with dielectric protective layer
Press Release
24.01.12
San Francisco, January 2012 - In the LINOS catalog from Qioptiq you will now find the
new gold surface mirror for the infrared spectral range up to 25 μm. This mirror series
is characterised by greatly improved resistance to environmental influences: abrasionproof,
high reflection, climatically stable and highly adhesive. Round mirrors with
diameters of 12.7 mm, 25 mm and 50 mm, and an elliptical
mirror with principal axes 22.4 mm x 31.5 mm, can be
delivered ex-works at attractive prices. The gold layer on
these mirrors is protected by a newly-developed dielectric
coating.
This ensures that the mirrors are scratchproof pursuant to
MIL-M-13508C 4.4.5. Resistant to solvents pursuant to MILF48616,
4.6.9.2 they are easier to clean and are also
resistant to moist heat (MIL-C-48497, 4.4.6). Nevertheless,
they guarantee a high degree of reflectivity in the IR spectral region over a wide angle
of incidence range without absorption band: average value of the reflection Raverage
>98% over 2 μm for an angle of incidence range of 0° ≤ AOI ≤ 60° (unpolarized).
