The cold mirrors of our SHD series provide a very high reflection for visible light sources and laser systems. Since these optics have a good transmission for infrared wavelengths up to 2500 nm they are excellently suited to filter cool light out of a beam path.

The mirror coating is designed for a reflection angle of i = 45° and transmits infrared radiation at 0° relative to the incident light beam. SHD cold mirrors offer a very good surface quality and are suitable for numerous optical applications. In addition to the main application as cold mirror optics and due to its dichroic design the SHD can also couple visible lasers into infrared light- or laser beams. Besides that, in many cases it is possible to utilize our dielectric cold mirrors as efficient and cost-effective laser mirrors for visible wavelengths and unpolarized laser systems.

The coating construction of the optics ensures permanent resistance to heat and moisture. As substrate for the SHD series we use quality borosilicate glass which enables it to be used even at high operating temperatures.

Our company also produces cold mirrors according to customer's specifications. On a batch basis the layer systems of the optics can be modified in relation to the reflection range, angle of incidence, the cut-on and cut-off point, as well as to the operating wavelength range according to customer's requirements. In such cases please use our coating enquiry form to request a quotation for a customized cold mirror optics or simply send us an e-mail.
