Introduction to Optical Mirrors
Optical mirrors are precision optical components consisting of an optically polished substrate and a highly reflective coating. They are designed to reflect light and can reflect light of any wavelength and adjust the reflection angle according to application requirements. MOK Optics is committed to providing customized high-precision optical mirrors to meet the diverse needs of customers.
There are many types of optical mirrors, including metal mirrors, dark mirrors, galvanometer mirrors, dielectric film mirrors, hybrid mirrors, as well as broadband mirrors, narrowband mirrors or multi-band mirrors. MOK Optics can provide a variety of customized optical mirrors from ultraviolet to long-wave infrared, covering almost all wavelength applications.

Features of metal mirror coatings
Metal mirrors are an important type of optical mirrors, and their coatings are usually made of metal materials such as aluminum, silver or gold. These coatings have extremely high reflectivity and can provide excellent performance over a wide range of wavelengths.
1. Aluminum coating
Aluminum coating is an affordable and stable option for applications from UV to visible light. Aluminum coatings have good durability and are easy to clean and maintain.
2. Silver coating
Silver coating is known for its high reflectivity in the visible and near-infrared range. Although silver coating is sensitive to environmental conditions, its corrosion resistance can be significantly improved by a special protective layer.
3. Gold coating
Gold coating is designed for the long-wave infrared range and has extremely high reflectivity and oxidation resistance, making it ideal for applications in harsh environments, such as aerospace or military fields.
Application of metal mirrors in different fields
Due to their unique properties, metal mirrors have been widely used in multiple industries. Here are some typical application areas:
1. Scientific research
In scientific experiments, metal mirrors are often used in scenes such as laser systems, astronomical observation equipment, and spectrometers that require high-precision reflective devices.
2. Industrial manufacturing
Metal mirrors are mainly used in laser cutting, welding, and measurement systems in the industrial field, which can significantly improve production efficiency and accuracy.
3. Medical equipment
Many devices in the medical field, such as laser therapy devices and diagnostic instruments, require the use of high-quality metal mirrors to ensure reliability and safety.
Summary
High-precision optical mirrors are important components for achieving excellent performance, reliability and efficiency, and play a vital role in scientific research, industrial manufacturing, medical equipment, aerospace and other fields.
