Knight Optical λ/10 Mirrors for Spectrometers
19/10/2017

Knight Optical can offer you stock and custom λ/10  mirrors for use in Spectromters, in a range of materials such as BK7 or equivalent, Zerodur, Quartz, UV Fused Silica and many more.  

Mirrors are made from low expansion glass for optimum stability to maintain the lambda/10 flatness. The mirrors help produce high quality signals and can be coated with a variety of coatings to ensure that the perfect quality image in the wavelength you require is achieved:

  • Enhanced aluminium 94%R for visible applications.
  • 9% dielectric for laser use in visible applications.
  • UV aluminium for UV applications down to 180nm.
  • 5% dielectric for laser use in the NIR applications.
  • Ion plated silver for NIR-2000nm applications.
  • Protected gold for 750nm to far infra-red applications

 λ/10  mirrors are used to produce a better quality signal from the mirror, resulting in a higher quality result for transmission.

Knight Optical can provide lambda/10 mirrors on a convex, concave and plano surface either from stock or custom. Send over the details of your requirement and we can see how we can help.
