Dielectric High Reflective Coatings
(DHR)
Dielectric coating can produce very high reflection (more
than 99.8% at designed wavelength), minimizing losses in
nearly all optical systems and is very durable, easily cleaned,
and resistant to laser damage. They are commonly used in
a single wavelength laser cavity where the lowest cavity
loss at a center wavelength is essential. Center wavelength
range from 250nm to 2200nm for DHR coatings.
Protected Aluminum High Reflective
Coatings (PAHR)
For general broadband use, a protected aluminum coating
offers the best option. A SiO coating is used to protect
the delicate aluminum coating making it suitable for laboratory
and industrial use.
UV Enhanced Aluminum High Reflective
Coatings (EAHR)
Aluminum coated mirrors are cost effective and offered in
a variety of sizes. Bare aluminum is extremely delicate
and susceptible to damage. A protective overcoat is layered
over the aluminum to make it damage resistant. Our UV Enhanced
coating is made by using an overcoat of MgF2 which is transparent
in the UV allowing R>80% @200nm. Widely used in where
the consistent high reflection in a wide spectral rang and
UV is necessary.
Protective Silver High Reflective Coatings
(PSHR)
Silver has been the material of choice because it reflects
well from 400 to 1000 nm over a broad range of angles. But
bare silver tarnishes and corrodes in normal atmospheres,
potentially reducing amplifier performance over time. To
avoid this, our new coating designe consists of adhesion
and passivation layers on each side of the sputtered silver,
improving mechanical and chemical durability; a layer of
silicon nitride, which improves mechanical durability and
protects from corrodants; and metal oxide layers that return
reflectance to acceptable levels.
Protective Gold High Reflective Coatings
(PGHR)
Gold is the most efficient reflective coating throughout
the entire IR range.
