8/5/2015, Barrington, NJ USA   —

Edmund Optics (EO), the premier provider of optical components, introduces its new TECHSPEC® Right Angle Mirrors. These mirrors feature enhanced aluminum, protected silver and protected gold metallic coatings. They are ideal for a wide variety of applications requiring precision alignment and high performance, including system alignment.

Reflects light at 90°

TECHSPEC Right Angle Mirrors reflect incident light at 90°, making them an essential part of many optical systems.

The specialty mirrors are easy to mount, and feature N-BK7 substrates. Available in 39 different size/coating combinations, each TECHSPEC Right Angle Mirror features a high quality metallic coating to provide high reflectance values.

The enhanced aluminum coating is a multi-layer dielectric film on top of aluminum to enhance reflectance in the visible wavelength region. Protected gold coatings are ideal for NIR and IR applications, which provide 96% reflectivity from 750-1500 nm. Gold coatings are offered with a silicon monoxide overcoat for a more durable finish and ease of handling. Protected silver coatings deliver excellent reflectivity of greater than 99% from 500-800 nm, making them ideal for broadband sources that span multiple spectra. A protective coating reduces any silver tarnishing and is ideally suited for low humidity environments.

TECHSPEC Right Angle Mirrors are in stock and available for immediate delivery for fast turnaround and excellent value.
