Mirrors for UV Laser & Invisible Lasers

AI Thread Summary
Mirrors that reflect UV lasers around 190nm with over 95% reflectance are available from several manufacturers. Companies like CVI Melles Griot, OptoScience, Thorlabs, and Princeton Instruments offer specialized narrowband mirrors suitable for this purpose. While the focus is on high reflectance for UV lasers, options for invisible lasers exist, though high reflectance is not a requirement. These products are essential for applications involving excimer lasers and other UV technologies. Users seeking specific mirror solutions should explore the offerings from these companies.

Hi,

Is there a such mirror which can reflects a UV laser (~190nm wavelength) with Reflectance greater than 95% and also invisible laser (not necessarily in a high Reflectance)?

Thanks

There are several companies that make excellent narrowband mirrors:

And more, I'm sure.

Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
