The cold mirrors of our SHD series offer a very high reflection for visible light. Since they have a good transmission for infrared wavelengths up to 2500 nm at the same time, they are excellently suited for filtering cold light out of a beam path by deflection. They are designed for an angle of incidence of 45°.
Our SHD cold mirrors have good surface quality and are suitable for mumerous optical applications. In addition to the main application as a cold mirror, our SHD can also be used for coupling visible lasers into infrared light- or laser beams. Under certain conditions the use as an effective, low-cost laser mirror is also possible.
The dielectric coating construction of our cold mirrors provides a permanent resistance to heat and moisture. The glass substrate we use is a heat-resistant borosilicate glass.
Our company also manufactures cold mirrors according to customer's specification. Per batch, the layer system can be modified according to custom requirements in terms of the reflection range, the cut-on and cut-off points and the center wavelengths.
