The cold mirrors of our SHD series provide a very high optical reflectivity for visible light sources and laser systems. Since the mirrors also offer high optical transmission for infrared wavelengths up to 2500 nm, they are excellently suited as filters for the extraction of cold light and ´ removal of thermal radiation energy from a beam path, while maintaining a high optical imaging quality in the visible. We designed the dichroic coating of the mirrors for a reflection angle of 45° and for transmission of the infrared radiation at 0° related to the incident light beam.
Our SHD mirrors offer a high surface quality and are suitable for various optical applications. In addition to the primary application as a cold mirror, the SHD mirror optics can be used to merge visible lasers with infrared laser beams. Besides that, in many cases, it is possible to use our standard SHD as efficient and cost-effective laser mirrors for visible wavelengths and unpolarized laser systems.
The dielectric coating construction of the optics ensures permanent resistance to thermal load and moisture. The glass substrate of the SHD mirrors is a premium quality borosilicate glass which enables the optics to operate at high temperatures and offers an excellent optical performance.
Our company also has the capabilities to produce cold mirrors according to customer's specifications. On a batch basis, we can modify the layer systems of the mirror optics concerning the reflection-range, angle of incidence, the cut-on, and cut-off wavelengths, damage threshold, as well as to the spectral operating range.
