Thorlabs' Protected Aluminum-Coated Concave Mirrors are designed for light collection, imaging, and focusing applications. These reflective optics focus light without chromatic aberration, making them especially suitable for broadband sources.
These mirrors offer >90% average reflection in the spectral range from 450 nm - 2 µm and >95% average reflection in
the spectral range from 2 - 20 µm. They consist of an aluminum-coated N-BK7 substrate that features a protective SiO2 overcoat. With ≤λ/4 surface irregularity at 633 nm, these mirrors provide excellent image quality. For applications near 780 nm, our silver-coated or -E03 dielectric mirrors are recommended instead.
All of the mirrors on this page can be mounted by our Precision Kinematic Mirror Mounts.
Please contact Tech Support for custom versions of these optics. Thorlabs also offers dielectric concave mirrors that provide higher reflectivity than metal mirrors at the expense of operating over a more narrow wavelength range.
The shaded region in each graph denotes the range over which we guarantee the specified reflectance. Please note that the reflectance outside of these bands is typical and can vary from lot to lot, especially in out-of-band regions where the reflectance is fluctuating or sloped.

(posted 2021-06-15 11:35:03.42) Can you provide the certificate of the curvature mirror?His model isCM508-1000-G01 YLohia
(posted 2021-06-15 11:04:46.0) Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. What type of a certificate are you looking for exactly? user
(posted 2013-09-05 13:37:01.367) It would be great if more focal lengths were offered (e.g. 1000-5000 mm). Same for convex mirrors (500-5000). jlow
(posted 2013-09-11 09:09:00.0) Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. We will look into the possibility of offering more focal lengths. cdaly
(posted 2013-01-25 17:32:17.833) Response from Chris at Thorlabs: Thank you for using the web feedback. Yes, we would be able to offer uncoated substrates for the concave mirrors. I will contact you directly to discuss your requirements. franxm
(posted 2013-01-25 13:23:21.263) Would Thorlabs offer uncoated mirror substrates?
Thanks. sharrell
(posted 2012-08-06 14:30:00.0) Response from Sean at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that the mirror thickness is missing from our specs table. We are in the process of revising the way many of our optics specs are presented, and we have moved this page to the top of the list. We expect that an updated webpage will be available by the end of the week. In the meantime, the thickness is available on the pdf drawing available for each mirror by clicking on the red "Documents" icon next to each item number in the price box. user
(posted 2012-08-04 18:57:10.0) The thickness data seems to be missing, it is important for me to have this data when picking an optic, please consider adding it. jjurado
(posted 2011-02-18 17:15:00.0) Response from Javier at Thorlabs to Christian Roedel: Thank you for contacting us with your request. We can certainly offer our mirrors without the protective coating. We will contact you directly to get more details about your requirements. christian.roedel
(posted 2011-02-17 12:15:17.0) I would like to use these mirrors for simple XUV applications. Is it possible to get them without a protection overcoat? A plain gold coating would be necessary for my application. acable
(posted 2007-07-23 13:06:16.0) Overview text is not well written, for instance "insufficient anti-reflection coatings" is poorly worded, please rewrite the entire overview.
Having a plot that is the result of an actual measurement would lend confidence to the reader, where the highly smoothed spectral curve does not.
Had to try to submit twice, i couldn't tell the difference between "15" and "I5" for the security code, at least that is my guess as to why. |
