Metal-coated mirrors are highly suitable for deflecting light paths of broadband light sources, offering high reflectivity across a wide spectral range. However, metal coatings are prone to oxidation, discoloration, or peeling in high-humidity environments. LBTEK's metal-coated mirrors feature a protective layer of silicon dioxide on the surface to isolate the metal coating from direct contact with air. Although the protective layer prevents silver oxidation, silver-coated mirrors still cannot be used in high-humidity environments and must be operated and stored in low-humidity, room-temperature conditions. LBTEK offers three types of metal-coated mirrors: aluminum-coated, silver-coated, and gold-coated. All our mirrors undergo precision manufacturing and strict quality control to ensure LBTEK provides high-quality mirror products at reasonable prices.

Metal Plane Mirrors, Silver Coating: 480 nm-20.0 μm, Economy Type

• Economy
• 480 nm - 20 µm
• Ø1/2 inch, Ø1 inch and Ø2 inch Optional

Economical silver-coated mirrors are available in Ø1/2 inch, Ø1 inch, and Ø2 inch options. The silver coating provides high reflectivity from 480 nm to 20 µm. LBTEK silver-coated mirrors feature an SiO2 protective layer to prevent oxidation and damage to the coating. Although the protective layer can prevent silver oxidation, silver-coated mirrors still cannot be used in high-humidity environments and must be used and stored in room-temperature conditions with minimal humidity. When handling silver-coated mirrors, it is recommended to wear latex gloves or finger cots to prevent contamination of the optical surface by residual oils and other substances from fingers. Handle with care, avoiding contact with the mirror surface and edges. Compared to standard silver-coated mirrors, economical silver-coated mirrors have lower surface quality but are more cost-effective.
