Newport Thin Film Laboratory\'s Dielectric Mirrors
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.
Dielectric Mirrors
Full dielectric mirrors are manufactured from ceramic materials instead of a metal layer, and rely on constructive interference to generate high reflectance. As such, they operate over a much narrower wavelength region than metal mirrors and are angle sensitive. However, they offer the advantage of extreme durability compared to metal mirrors, and can operate effectively in high temperature environments. Moreover, they are more environmentally stable than metal mirrors.
