Cold mirrors play a critical role in a wide range of applications that require precise control of heat and light. In lighting applications, cold mirrors protect sensitive objects from potential heat damage by effectively allowing infrared light to escape from the target area. We have designed our SHD dichroic cold mirrors to reflect at an angle of 45° and transmit infrared radiation at 0° relative to the incident light beam. They provide excellent optical reflectivity for visible wavelengths while transmitting more than 90% (average) of the infrared light up to 2500 nm. The SHD is ideal for extracting cold visible light from a beam path while removing most of the thermal energy and maintaining a high imaging quality. In addition to its primary use as a cold mirror, the SHD can also be used to combine visible light with infrared light or laser beams. It functions as a highly efficient and cost-effective laser mirror in the visible. Its dielectric mirror construction ensures permanent resistance to thermal stress and moisture. High-quality BOROFLOAT® substrates allow the SHD cold mirrors to operate at elevated temperatures.
We also manufacture customized cold mirror optics and can modify the layer design in terms of reflection wavelength, angle of incidence, cut-on, cut-off wavelengths, damage threshold, and spectral operating range of the reflective coatings on a batch basis.
