Resonator Coatings
Partial Reflectors
Our consistent, low-absorbing coatings offer a wide wavelength range and reflection values for 0.25 to 10 inch part diameters. These parts are available in OEM volumes to custom one of a kind.
- 5 to 98% reflective (standard)
- CW
- Pulsed
- Ultra-low absorption MP-5®
- Band-selective*
- Rear Mirrors
Our all-dielectric coatings for high reflection, low absorption with controlled transmission are used in laser power monitoring.
II-VI also offers coatings for low-absorption total reflectors.
- Total reflective coating
- Band-selective coating*
- Stable resonator
- Unstable
Fold Mirrors
Our low-absorption coated intercavity mirrors are used to increase laser power or if desired, as polarization locking mirrors.
