UV Mirrors
A dielectric- or metallic-coated mirror optimized for reflectivity in the ultraviolet, used in deep-UV spectroscopy and excimer laser systems.
Share requirements, quantities and a drawing if available. Specifications and supply terms require confirmation.
Overview
UV mirrors use a coating specifically optimized for reflectivity in the ultraviolet range, since standard broadband or IR-optimized mirror coatings lose performance at shorter UV wavelengths. This is a smaller, more specialized niche than the general Laser Mirrors or Broadband Mirrors categories, serving buyers with deep-UV or excimer-laser instrumentation requirements — a similar niche-but-real market pattern to Dongqiao's existing MgF2 and BaF2 window pages. Procurement review should center on reflecting ultraviolet wavelengths with a coating selected for AOI, contamination control and durability.
Key Selection Points
- Coating optimized specifically for UV reflectivity, where broadband/IR coatings lose performance
- Used in deep-UV spectroscopy and excimer laser systems in this product category
- Complements Dongqiao's existing MgF2 and BaF2 deep-UV window pages as part of the same UV-instrumentation buyer segment
Applications
UV mirrors are used in deep-UV spectroscopy, excimer laser beam-delivery systems, and other UV instrumentation requiring reflectivity that standard broadband or IR-optimized mirrors do not provide.
Spectral Performance
This module explains which spectral variables must be defined before measured performance can be reviewed. For UV Mirrors, the module focuses on reflecting ultraviolet wavelengths with a coating selected for AOI, contamination control and durability.
- Review measured performance against supplier or test-lab data tied to the exact configuration.
- Record wavelength region, angle of incidence and polarization with the measurement context.
- Confirm transmission, reflectance and blocking requirements against approved evidence for the selected configuration.
- Product-specific review: connect UV band with coating family and document the trade-off against visible or infrared mirrors.

| Input 3 | Integration pair: coating family together with cleanliness and exposure environment. |
| Input 4 | RFQ-specific instruction: state UV source, band, AOI, atmosphere and contamination-control requirements. |
| Input 5 | Add the requested quantity and prototype or production stage. |
| Input 6 | Attach controlled drawings and identify the inspection or spectral evidence the buyer expects. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I use a standard broadband mirror for UV?
Standard broadband and IR-optimized metallic coatings lose reflectivity performance at shorter UV wavelengths, which is why a dedicated UV-optimized coating is generally used for deep-UV applications.
Can I get a custom size or mount for UV Mirrors?
UV Mirrors requires this decision to be tied to UV band and AOI and polarization. Share your drawing or exact dimensions through the RFQ form and we will confirm feasibility.
Which specification should be fixed first for UV Mirrors?
Begin with UV band. It determines how AOI and polarization and coating family should be evaluated before the mechanical details are finalized.
When is UV Mirrors a better fit than visible or infrared mirrors?
Choose between them by testing the requirement for reflecting ultraviolet wavelengths with a coating selected for AOI, contamination control and durability. If that requirement is absent, the comparison product may provide a simpler procurement path.
What should an RFQ for UV Mirrors include?
State UV source, band, AOI, atmosphere and contamination-control requirements. Also include quantity, drawing revision and the required acceptance evidence. Final availability is confirmed during quotation.
