Aluminum mirrors

3Photon Aluminum Mirrors are high-performance optical mirrors designed for broadband reflection from the UV to the infrared, offering an excellent balance of reflectivity, durability, and cost-effectiveness for scientific and industrial applications.

Aluminum mirrors from 3Photon are engineered to deliver reliable, broadband optical performance across a wide spectral range. Thanks to aluminum’s naturally broad reflectance characteristics, these mirrors are an ideal choice for applications that require consistent performance from the ultraviolet (UV), through the visible spectrum, and into the near-infrared (NIR).

3Photon’s aluminum mirrors are manufactured using precision optical substrates combined with high-quality aluminum coatings. To enhance durability and environmental stability, the aluminum layer is typically protected with a dielectric overcoat (such as MgF₂ or equivalent), significantly improving resistance to oxidation, humidity, and handling damage-without compromising optical performance.

Key Advantages
  • Broad Spectral Coverage – High reflectivity across UV, visible, and IR wavelengths makes aluminum mirrors highly versatile.
  • Cost-Effective Solution – Compared to silver or gold coatings, aluminum provides excellent performance at a lower cost.
  • Durable Coatings – Protective overcoats improve lifetime and maintain reflectivity in demanding environments.
  • Precision Optics – Suitable for imaging, beam steering, and alignment-sensitive optical systems.
  • Custom Options – Available in various sizes, shapes, surface qualities, and coating specifications to meet system-level requirements.
Typical Applications
  • Optical laboratories and research setups
  • Spectroscopy systems
  • Laser beam steering and alignment
  • Imaging systems and projection optics
  • UV-enabled optical instruments

What are 3Photon Aluminum Mirrors used for?

They’re front-surface aluminum optical mirrors suited for broadband reflection in the UV-VIS-IR range - ideal for beam routing, imaging systems, and general optical paths where high reflectivity over a wide spectral range is needed

What makes these mirrors special?

Photon’s aluminum mirrors are protected against environmental effects, meaning they resist humidity and temperature changes better than bare aluminum coatings - useful in lab and industrial environments.

Can they handle lasers?

Yes, low- to moderate-power lasers can be reflected safely; for high-power lasers, confirm the coating’s damage threshold and wavelength compatibility with your specific laser conditions.
