Substrates
Uncoated optical glasses (substrates) used for mirrors or beamsplitters.
If you want to construct mirrors or beamsplitters with custom specification, you will be able to apply custom coating to the standard substrates.
| Applications | Substrate to adapt |
|---|---|
| Mirrors | Optical Flats (OFB/OFSQ/Others) Optical Parallels (OPB/OPSQ/OPSQK) |
| Half mirrors Beamsplitters |
Optical Parallels (OPB/OPSQ/OPSQK) Wedged Substrates (WSB/WSSQ/WSSQK) |
| Windows | Optical Parallels (OPB/OPSQ/OPSQK) Wedged Substrates (WSB/WSSQ/WSSQK) |
| Concave mirrors (Laser cavity mirrors) |
Concave Mirror Substrates (TCBS/LCBS) |
| Test plates Interferometer reference mirrors |
Optical Flats (HMPQP/HMPZP) Master Optics |
| High power laser mirrors X-ray mirrors |
Low scattering substrate (OPSQSP/WSSQSP) |
Windows
Windows for the optical instrument to be used when light is passed through the opposite side of the partition
or inside of the vacuum chamber.
Materials used to window changes depending on the wavelength used.
Since there are advantages and disadvantages depending on the material, please check the properties.
