Optical Mirrors Hot & Cold UV & IR

Mirrors are available in the following materials as standard:

BK7
Sapphire
B270
Soda Lime
U/V Silica
Zerodur
Borofloat (Pyrex)
Zinc Crown
Float Glass

And are available as Plano, Concave or Convex

Cold Mirrors are used for Heat Reflection.

A hot mirror is a specialized dielectric mirror, to protect optical systems; a dichroic filter is often used by reflecting infrared light back into a light source, while allowing visible light to pass.

Features of Hot Mirrors:

Hot mirrors can be designed to be inserted into the optical system at an incidence angle varying between 0-45 degrees

Useful in a variety of applications where heat build-up can damage components or adversely affect spectral characteristics of the illumination source.

Wavelengths reflected by an infrared hot mirror range from about 750 – 1250 nanometers.
