Laser Mirror

Laser mirrors are optical components used in laser systems to reflect and control the direction of laser beams. They are part of the supply class of Stimulated Coherent Radiation Devices, Components, and Accessories in the supply group Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.

Laser mirrors are designed to have high reflectivity at specific wavelengths of laser light. They are typically made of materials with high optical quality, such as glass or metal, and coated with thin layers of dielectric or metallic films to enhance their reflectivity.

These mirrors are crucial in laser systems as they help to direct and focus the laser beam. They can be used for various purposes, including beam steering, beam shaping, and cavity alignment. Laser mirrors are available in different shapes and sizes to suit different laser applications.

When selecting a laser mirror, factors such as reflectivity, wavelength range, damage threshold, and angle of incidence need to be considered. Reflectivity determines how much of the incident laser light is reflected, while the wavelength range specifies the range of laser wavelengths the mirror can effectively reflect. The damage threshold indicates the maximum laser power the mirror can withstand without being damaged.

Overall, laser mirrors play a vital role in controlling and manipulating laser beams, making them essential components in laser systems used in various fields such as telecommunications, scientific research, and industrial applications.
