Description

The Enhanced Silver Mirrors are specifically designed for high-precision femtosecond applications and have been rigorously tested for sub-5 fs pulses. These mirrors feature a high reflectivity of more than 99% within the wavelength range of 620 nm to 1110 nm (0-45°), making them ideal for demanding optical systems. The mirrors are tailored to provide flat dispersion characteristics, ensuring minimal temporal distortion of light pulses. The Enhanced Silver Mirror "Blue" is optimized for shorter wavelengths, offering more than 97% reflectivity from 450 nm to 950 nm, providing versatility across different wavelength ranges. These mirrors enable precise control in experimental setups, offering a high degree of flexibility in applications ranging from ultrafast optics to advanced imaging systems.
