ROUND OPTICAL MIRRORS

Round optical mirrors are produced using different materials, which vary based on their intended use. Advanced Optics produces round optical mirrors using BOROFLOAT® 33, SUPREMAX® 33, and fused silica in-house. We also stock a variety of other optical glass materials, including N-BK7, Viosil, Zerodur, and Quartz, for fast turnaround on your unique project.

Our in-stock optical mirrors are aluminum coated with a protective SiO overcoat. We offer custom coatings tailored to your requirements, as well as enhanced Al, silver, and gold coatings.

In addition, our in-stock mirrors are available precision polished to either λ/4, λ/10, or λ/20. They are also available uncoated for use as windows or flats.

Target Grade - made of low-expansion borosilicate glass, which provides low thermal expansion, high thermal resistance, excellent light transmission, and impressive chemical durability.

Interferometer Grade - made of synthetic fused silica which provides superior transmission characteristics, a high degree of purity, exceptional environmental durability, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion.

ZERODUR® - made of a glass-ceramic material which is thermally more stable than fused silica.
