Aluminum Mirrors

TFA_TFAN_TFAQ_TFAQN-S

This is a vapor-deposited aluminium flat mirror with the substrate polished with high accuracy, designed for high reflectivity at any incident angle.

Optics & Optical Coatings
  • With four types to choose from; (TFAN/TFAQN) which is coated with aluminium only, (TFA/TFAQ) which is coated with a protective coating against accidental hard scratches, (TFAE) which is coated aluminium and a protective coating to increase the reflectance of ultraviolet and lastly, (OPBA/OPSQA) which provides Aluminum with protective coat on the optical parallel substrate.
  • For ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared light applications.
  • For low thermal expansion mirrors, we have (TFAQ/TFAQN) which is made of Synthetic fused silica that provides high rigidity and high precision surface quality.
