Where to Buy First Surface Mirrors

VisiMax metal mirrors are available both as first and second surface mirrors. For many applications, the reflectivity of the metal can be further enhanced by adding dielectric overcoat layers; these hybrid coatings are known as enhanced metal mirrors. For applications requiring additional hardness or oxidation stability, protected metal mirrors can be made, which are overcoated with a single dielectric layer.

LASEROPTIK offers a wide range of dielectric and metal coatings for first surface mirrors – for different spectral regions and including special designs e.g. for multiline performance, OPO applications and with tailored chromatic dispersion. We can also deposit such coatings on special substrates.

EMF, a Dynasil company, offers two types of first surface mirrors for superior optical quality for engineering and scientific applications that require precision. It offers them as a standard protected aluminum mirror or an enhanced aluminum mirror for applications in visible (VIS) and near infrared (NIR). Learn more and compare reflectance curves.

Edmund Optics offers a range of laser, flat, metal substrate, focusing, or specialty optical mirrors in a multitude of reflective coating options, including protected aluminum, enhanced aluminum, protected silver, protected gold, and dielectric.
