Cylindrical plano convex mirrors are reflective optical components with one flat (plano) surface and one cylindrically curved convex surface. Unlike spherical mirrors, cylindrical mirrors diverge reflected light along one axis. They are ideal for beam expansion, beam shaping, anamorphic imaging, and scanning applications.
These mirrors have a rectangular aperture with length and width dimensions, and the cylindrical curvature is applied along the width axis. The convex curved surface features a high-performance reflective coating. Common applications include laser scanning systems, beam expanders, optical coherence tomography, and infrared imaging systems.
Our configurator below provides instant online quoting for custom cylindrical plano convex mirrors in N-BK7 (H-K9L) and UV Fused Silica (JGS1) glass substrates. You can specify length, width, radius of curvature, edge thickness, and select from many reflective coating options.
If you need materials, coatings, or specifications not available in the configurator, please contact us at [email protected] for a custom quote.
Note: It costs about as much to make one custom mirror as it does to make ten, hence the minimum order quantity is 10 pieces. Large price drops occur as volume increases to 100 units.
