Description
Hot and Cold Mirrors are essential optical components designed to manage light and heat in various applications. These mirrors are crafted with precision to either reflect or transmit specific wavelengths, making them invaluable in environments where temperature control and light manipulation are crucial. The use of high-quality Borosilicate glass ensures that these mirrors can withstand high temperatures, providing durability and reliability in demanding conditions.
Hot Mirrors are engineered to separate visible light from heat by reflecting infrared radiation. This capability is particularly beneficial in applications where heat needs to be managed without compromising the quality of visible light. The preferred angle of incidence (AOI) for optimal performance is 0º. These mirrors are designed to transmit visible light within the 420-700nm range while reflecting infrared light in the 800-1000nm range, achieving a reflection rate of over 95%.
Cold Mirrors, on the other hand, are designed to reflect visible light while allowing infrared radiation to pass through, effectively removing heat. This makes them ideal for applications where visible light needs to be maximized while minimizing heat. The optimal AOI for cold mirrors is 45º, with a transmission range of 800-1200nm and a reflection rate of over 95% for visible light in the 400-700nm range.
Both hot and cold mirrors are available in various sizes and configurations, with the option for custom designs to meet specific requirements. Their dielectric multilayer coatings ensure high performance and longevity, making them a valuable addition to any optical setup. Whether you need to manage heat or enhance visible light, these mirrors offer a tailored solution to meet your optical needs.
