Mirrors
Optical Mirrors are designed to reflect incident light for laser and imaging applications such as beam steering, interferometry, illumination, and more. Industries that utilize Optical Mirrors are bio-medical, life sciences, astronomy, metrology, semiconductor, and more. OptoSigma offers a broad selection of optical mirrors to meet virtually any application. Some examples are, Super Mirrors, or, low PPM mirrors, Spherical Mirrors, Femtosecond Laser Mirrors, also known as Low or Negative Dispersion Mirrors, Dielectric Mirrors, Metalic Mirrors, and Laser Line Mirrors. If one of our hundreds of catalog mirrors do not meet your requirements, send us a request for a custom mirror.
