Thorlabs' Broadband Dielectric Concave Mirrors are designed for light collection, imaging, and focusing applications. These reflective optics focus light without introducing chromatic aberration, making them especially suitable for broadband sources.
All of the mirrors on this page can be mounted by our Precision Kinematic Mirror Mounts.
Thorlabs also offers metallic concave mirrors that operate over a broader wavelength range at the expense of lower reflectivity. Please contact Tech Support for custom versions of these optics.
These plots show the reflectivity of our -E01 dielectric coating for a typical coating run. The shaded region in each graph denotes the spectral range over which the coating is highly reflective. Due to variations in each run, this recommended spectral range is narrower than the actual range over which the optic will be highly reflective. If you have any concerns about the interpretation of this data, please contact Tech Support. For applications that require a mirror that bridges the spectral range between two dielectric coatings, please consider a metallic concave mirror.

 (posted 2012-04-05 15:30:00.0) Update from Tim at Thorlabs: These have fine ground backs and as such will be unusable for your application. However, we are able to offer a custom with a polished backside. I have contacted you with more information. tcohen
 (posted 2012-04-05 15:06:00.0) Response from Tim at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. I am looking into the reflection/transmission of these mirrors when incident light is on the uncoated side and I will update you with the information soon! junge

is the backsurface of the mirror transparent so that it can be used to set up a FPI?
Thanks a lot,
