A hot mirror is a specialized dielectric mirror often used for safeguarding optical systems by reflecting infrared light back into a light source and enabling visible light to pass through it. It reflects 90% of near infrared (NIR) and infrared (IR) light while transmitting up to 80% of the visible light. Such mirrors are usedContinue reading “The Uses of Hot Mirror, Cold Mirror & Laser Mirror”

Corner Cube Retroreflector: Wide & Unique Applications
Corner Cube Retroreflector can be used to reflect rays in a direction accurately antiparallel to its initial course, irrespective of the angle of incidence. Corner reflectors occur in two varieties. In the more common form, the corner is exactly the truncated corner of a cube of transparent material such as conventional optical glass. In thisContinue reading “Corner Cube Retroreflector: Wide & Unique Applications”
The Use & significance of Cold Mirror, Hot Mirror and Laser Mirror
Hot mirrors and cold mirrors are used to separate infrared radiation from the visible part of the spectrum. A cold mirror reflects visible light and transmits infrared, while hot mirror reflects infrared and transmits the visible light. These mirrors are often used with lamps for heat control. They are also used in a combination ofContinue reading “The Use & significance of Cold Mirror, Hot Mirror and Laser Mirror”
All About Laser Windows
We use the windows in optical systems to shield the lenses from dust, dirt, and pollution. Some of the key reasons for using the Laser Window in optical systems are very high transmission, low absorption along with low wave front distortion. The laser windows are used for various purposes across the world. Some of theContinue reading “All About Laser Windows”
