Our superior quality silver-coated SHP front surface mirrors feature a high and broadband optical reflection of > 98 % for visible light and maintain high reflectivity up to the infrared. Unlike the case with dielectric mirror optics, our optical silver coatings' reflectivity is almost independent of the incident light's polarization. The high-quality glass substrate of our SHP mirror allows a high imaging quality. As a result of their excellent optical properties, our silver-metal front surface mirrors work in many medical applications that require high-reflection mirror optics at a reasonable cost. Even many laser applications are possible with the SHP. Thanks to the thin dielectric layer deposited above the reflective metallic mirror layer, they are well protected from oxidation.
We are not limited to a few mirror sizes, as we have specialized in the rapid manufacturing of customized dimensions. It required, even custom-sized mirror optics at large quantities, usually take less than a week to ship. This way, the mirror fits perfectly into your application without any extra time and effort required to adapt your application to a fixed-sized catalog product. For urgent cases, we offer 48 h express manufacturing, which allows the fabrication and shipping of individual mirror optics within 48 hours after receipt of your order.

Because silver is a relatively soft coating, we do not recommend using silver-coated front surface mirrors in harsh environments, where they may be subject to potential scratching or abrasion. For applications with increased mechanical stress, we have developed our SHP-D mirrors, which offer similar optical properties to our SHP silver front surface mirror, but have a less sensitive mirror surface.
