Ultra-broadband optical mirror by Semrock

Manufacturer of optical filters, Semrock, Inc. (Rochester, NY), has released their improved ultra-broadband MaxMirror. Offering greater than 99% average reflectance from 350 nm - 1100 nm for both S & P polarizations with a 0° - 50° angle of incidence, the MaxMirror is ideal for diverse and demanding beam steering applications. With a surface flatness better than 1/10th wave, a 10-5 surface quality and high laser damage threshold, the MaxMirror is designed from the glass up to be a low scatter, low absorbance mirror that reliably performs in your optical system. This mirror is compatible with common mounts with a 6 mm substrate thickness.

PRESS RELEASE

ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 16, 2012 – Semrock, Inc., a world leader in the design and manufacture of spectrally complex optical filters, recently released their improved award-winning and patented ultra-broadband MaxMirror. Offering greater than 99% average reflectance from 350 nm ˗ 1100 nm for both S & P polarizations with a 0° ˗ 50° angle of incidence, the MaxMirror is the first choice for diverse and demanding beam steering applications. With a surface flatness better than 1/10th wave, a 10-5 surface quality and high laser damage threshold, the MaxMirror is designed from the glass up to be a low scatter, low absorbance mirror that reliably performs in your optical system. Continuing the Semrock tradition as the market leader in hard-coated optical filter technology, the new MaxMirror is offered at an amazing $99 price with an additional discount when purchased in quantities of ten or more.

- Ultra-broadband performance range from 350 nm ˗ 1100 nm
- 99% average reflectance for S and P-polarizations
- Maintains performance over 0° to 50° angle of incidence
- Laser Damage Threshold: 6 J/cm2 at 1064 nm (for 10 ns pulses)
