FRONT SURFACE OPTICAL MIRRORS

Front surface optical mirrors (also known as first surface optical mirrors) reflect light directly from the coating that is applied to the polished or working surface of the mirror. Front surface optical mirrors differ from second surface optical mirrors in the fact that light does not have to travel through the glass before being reflected back. This makes front surface mirrors the clear choice for optical applications involving imaging.

View our front surface mirrors below:

• Precision grade front surface mirrors polished up to λ/20.
• High quality commercial grade front surface mirrors polished 1-3 waves per inch.
• Various reflective coatings such as AlSiO, bare Al, bare Au, enhanced Al, protected Ag, protected Au as well as custom coatings.
• A broad range of in-stock front surface mirrors as well as the capability to manufacture custom mirrors and prototypes.

In addition to our in-stock optical mirrors, Advanced Optics provides custom optical fabrication and free engineering services. We have the capability to provide custom shapes, apply bevels and even drill holes to meet your unique application.
