Protected and Enhanced Metal |
|
The Optical Corporation manufactures a full range of metal mirrors for applications where an extremely broad spectral range is to be covered, a minimal sensitivity to incident angle, or a minimal sensitivity to polarization is required. TOC employs protected gold, protected silver, and enhanced aluminum coatings since these three provide all of the major benefits of metal mirrors in applications where metal mirrors are suitable. All three TOC metal mirror coatings are available on all TOC substrates.
