Off-Axis Parabolic Metal Mirrors

View More Images 
  • Aluminum Substrate Mirrors
  • Available in 30°, 60°, or 90° Off-Axis
  • Mounting Plates Also Available

Aluminum substrate mirrors are also available as 30°, 60°, or 90° off-axis parabolic reflectors. Off-axis parabolic mirrors are only a section of the parabola form. Unlike standard parabolic mirrors, these mirrors direct and focus incident collimated light at a specific angle, allowing unrestricted access to the focal point (see diagram). Typically used as collimators in Schlieren and MTF systems, our gold coated off-axis parabolic mirrors can also be used in FLIR test systems. Due to the 175Å surface roughness, they are not suitable for visible and ultraviolet applications that require low scatter.

25.4mm Diameter and 50.8mm Diameter Mirrors have (3) 6-32 TPI tapped holes (on 3/4" Bolt Circle for 25.4mm Dia, 1.25" Bolt Circle for 50.8mm) for easy, accurate mounting; 76.2 mm Diameter Mirrors have (3) 8-32 TPI tapped holes (on 2.25" Bolt Circle) for mounting. Mounting plates sold separately.

Mounting Plates for Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors

The black anodized aluminum (6061-T6) adapter plates have three bored holes to allow the off-axis mirrors to be securely mounted in standard optical equipment. Adapter plates also feature four 1/4-20 tapped holes for threading onto standard post holders. Three socket head cap screws included.
