Newport Thin Film Laboratory\'s Metal Mirror Coatings
Description
Many applications require surfaces that are highly reflective, and the most common technique for making mirrored surfaces is to vacuum deposit a reflective coating onto a polished surface. At Newport Thin Film Lab, we offer two types of mirror coatings to help with this. The two options for vacuum deposited thin film reflectors are metal mirrors or dielectric mirrors.
Metal Mirror Coatings – Aluminum (Al.) – Copper (Cu.) – Gold (Au.) – Silver (Ag.)
Metal mirrors consist of a metallic coating. However, bare metals scratch easily, so it is common to deposit a dielectric layer over the metal layer to increase durability. These are referred to as protected metal films (e. g., protected aluminum). Often a more sophisticated multi-layer coating is deposited over the metal film to provide increased reflectivity or otherwise modify the performance of the mirror. Designs include protected and enhanced Gold, Aluminum and Silver. Coatings can be designed for first or second surface reflection, angle of incidence and substrate material. Coatings are optimized for maximum performance in the UV to Infrared regions.
