A 99.999% ultra-high reflectivity spherical mirror is an optical component with a spherical reflective surface that can Youdaoplaceholder0 reflect light. Its reflectivity can reach 99.999% making it an optical component with extremely high reflectivity and extremely low light loss. It has important applications in optical communication, laser technology, laser gyro, high-power lasers, ultra-stable lasers, time-frequency transfer, quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum precision measurement, neutral atoms, cold atoms, Rydberg atoms, gravitational wave detection, etc.
Ultra-high reflectivity spherical mirrors typically use the principle of Bragg mirrors, with thin films of high and low refractive index materials alternately stacked on the substrate to form a one-dimensional photonic crystal structure. When the light sag
When directly inserted, the optical thickness of each layer of material is designed to be a quarter of the target reflection wavelength, causing the light reflected from the interfaces of each layer to undergo constructive interference, superimposing into a powerful reflected beam, while the transmitted light is greatly suppressed by destructive interference, resulting in high reflectivity and low loss.
UItraopto Precision Optics Co. Ltd's ultra-high reflectivity spherical mirrors can be stably provided through precise control of the polishing and coating processes, and custom mirrors of various specifications are accepted.
