Introduction
Round flat mirrors are planar optical mirrors with a circular geometry, designed to redirect light without introducing intentional focusing power. Their flat reflective surface changes the direction of an incident beam while preserving the beam geometry, making them suitable for beam steering, optical path folding, and alignment within precision optical systems.
The circular form provides a practical solution for optical assemblies using round mounts, apertures, or rotationally symmetric mechanical layouts. Round flat mirrors can be produced in different diameters, substrate materials, surface accuracies, and reflective coating configurations to support wavelength-specific and system-level optical requirements.
Applications
- Optical testing systems
- Imaging path folding assemblies
- Interferometers systems
Features & advantages
- Low reflected-wavefront distortion for precision optical systems
- Convenient integration with standard circular optical mounts
- Stable beam geometry in non-focusing optical layouts
