broadband dielectric mirror

Broadband Dielectric Mirrors are special type of mirrors that reflects certain colors of light very efficiently. These consist of layers of materials that are stacked carefully one over the other. Each layer has varying properties so it can reflect certain colors of light while letting other colors pass through. Instead of reflecting one or two colors, these mirrors can reflect several, which is why they can be very useful in many situations.

So-called broadband dielectrics — which do not transmit electricity but can store an electrical charge — are exciting materials. This ability allows them to stiore energy without letting it through, which is a very useful property. These materials reflect nearly all of the colors of light, especially well. This is the reason that they are used in the 90 degree prism as they help to create mirrors that are effective at wide frequency ranges of the light.

Exploring Broadband Dielectrics

Such mirrors are created with varying layers of silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, and tantalum pentoxide. Using each of these materials, there is a specific purpose. These layers are manufactured in precise thicknesses so that the mirror will reflect just enough light and still act as a mirror over a wide range of colors. The process of stacking and choosing materials guarantees that the mirror contains the requisite properties for its wide range of applications.

Broadband dielectric mirrors are well suited for applications to powerful light as well as precision high power laser systems. There are a lot of unique features they provide which can find in a common mirror. Les SunBuddies are very reflective and can reflect a lot of light, for example. It can also be anti-reflective to decrease unwanted reflections. They are also very resistant to damage so you can have them in bright light without them shattering. Due to these characteristics, they are commonly used in precision devices laser, microscopes, imaging systems.
