Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the search for UV laser mirrors that can reflect light in the 190nm range while also reflecting visible light. Participants are exploring options for commercially available mirrors and custom solutions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the availability of a broad laser mirror that can reflect both UV light at 190nm and visible light.
  • Another participant suggests a website that offers optical components, including mirrors, but does not confirm the specific requirements for 190nm and visible light reflection.
  • A follow-up post expresses difficulty in finding a suitable mirror on the suggested website and questions the existence of such a mirror.
  • Another participant mentions that several companies can custom-make mirrors with specific spectral reflectance properties, citing Chroma as a recommended option.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the availability of a suitable mirror, with some suggesting potential sources while others express uncertainty about finding a commercially available option that meets the specific requirements.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the potential need for custom solutions, indicating that standard options may not meet the specific criteria of reflecting both 190nm UV light and visible light.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals or organizations looking for optical components for UV laser applications, particularly those needing specific reflectance properties in the 190nm range.

Hi

is there a broad laser mirror for UV laser in the range which contain the invisible light and a 190nm? and where can I find such mirror?

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for your reply, but I can not find in this website a mirror which can reflect 193 nm lase line and also reflect a visible laser. So is there such mirror at all?

There are several companies that can custom-make a mirror with (nearly) arbitrary spectral reflectance properties: Chroma is a pleasure to deal with, for example.
