Home / Custom / Optical Components / Optical Mirror / Protected Aluminum Mirror Protected aluminum mirror coating with a layer of magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) or silicon dioxide (SiO₂) to solve the problem of the lack of durability of pure aluminum coating. ECOPTIK provide the round, square and customized shape mirrors with a protected Al coating and UV-Enhanced Al coating in various sizes.
The protective film significantly enhances the mechanical strength of the aluminum film, enabling it to withstand gentle cleaning and greatly extending its service life.
Inheriting the high reflectivity of aluminum film across the visible to far-infrared bands, and with a flat reflectivity curve, it is insensitive to incident angle and polarization state.
It is one of the most widely used and economical metal reflectors, suitable for the vast majority of general-purpose optical systems.
Not suitable for high-power lasers. The nature of the metal film determines its low laser damage threshold, making it unable to withstand high-energy/high-power laser irradiation.
