Thorlabs' Broadband Dielectric Concave Mirrors are designed for a wide variety of light collection, imaging, and focusing applications. These reflective optics focus light without chromatic aberration, making them especially suitable for broadband sources. With low surface irregularity at 633 nm, these mirrors provide excellent image quality.

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.

Optic Cleaning Tutorial

These plots show the reflectivity of our -E02 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.

hello, i have bought the folowing product: CM750-500-E02 - Ø75 mm Dielectric-Coated Concave Mirror, 400 - 750 nm, f = 500 mm. I would like to know the error (+/-) of the focal distance (f).

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: The focal length tolerance is ±0.1mm.

Is it possible to have you polish the back side of these instead of engraving it and putting the rough finish on? I would like to use it for a Cavity Enhanced spectroscopy instrument. Ryan Thalman Research Associate Brookhaven National Lab.

Response from Tim at Thorlabs to Ryan: Thanks for your inquiry! We can provide customs such as this through our technical team at techsupport@thorlabs.com. An applications engineer will contact you with a quote and to discuss your transmission requirements.

Concave Mirror Selection Guide

Thorlabs offers concave mirrors with both metallic and dielectric stack reflective coatings. Metallic-coated mirrors offer relatively high reflectance (90-95%) over a wide wavelength range, while dielectric-coated mirrors provide even higher reflectance (>99%) but over a smaller wavelength range. See the table to the right for an overview of the various coatings we offer for our concave mirrors. All coating options are available on optics with diameters ranging from Ø1/2" to Ø75 mm. Metallic mirrors are available with focal lengths from 9.5 - 1000 mm, while dielectric mirrors are available with focal lengths from 12 - 1000 mm.

Below are reflectance plots for our metallic-, dielectric-, and crystalline-coated concave mirrors. To view our selection of mirrors available with a particular coating, either click on the graphed line of interest or the corresponding coating name in the legend. Graphs for the matallic- and dielectrc-coated mirrors are shown for an angle of incidence (AOI) of 8 or 6 degrees. Graphs for the crystalline-coated mirrors are shown for an AOI of 0 degrees.
