Spherically curved mirrors are commonly used in laser cavities,
and in laser beam expanders. We design and build mirror based beam expanders
for high power lasers.
Our supplier has hundreds of stock tools that allow us to offer a
large range of concave and convex mirrors with Radius Of Curvature from 5mm to
100 Metres.
Cylindrical mirrors are used for correcting astigmatic beams from
slab discharge lasers and laser diodes, a range of cylindrical curvatures are
available.
Curved mirrors with through holes are useful in Raman spectroscopy
and multi-pass cells. Our manufacturing process is particularly good for such
optics, maintaining surface form over the entire surface.
In many cases spherical mirrors can often be used in careful
combination to give diffraction limited results, and we have several designs
for focus systems based on spherical mirrors.
Using spherical mirrors in carefully optimised designs can offer
large savings over aspheric optics
Where there is no choice but to use an aspheric mirror, we offer a
range of parabolic, elliptical and hyperbolic mirror surfaces.
Curved mirrors are available from a wide range of materials and
with various coatings. |
