Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors

Spectrum Scientific’s off-axis parabolic mirrors (OAPs) eliminate aberrations that are present when trying to use spherical mirrors in off axis conditions and are achromatic, focusing on collimation and feature very low scatter making them ideal for UV applications.

Off-axis parabolic mirrors ensure high resolution in compact system designs and are key elements in spectrometers as well as astronomical optical instrumentation.

Our high precision mirrors are manufactured using the optical replication process allowing us to supply high fidelity, high specification precision mirrors at a lower cost compared to traditional volume manufacturing.

In addition, replicated mirrors feature light weight monolithic designs with the option of incorporating mounting or alignment features onto the mirror itself, improving stability and reducing assembly and alignment costs.

Our off-axis parabolic mirors are offered with optimized coatings for deep UV as low as 120nm as well as coatings to suit VIS, NIR and IR.
