Gold Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors are engineered to focus or collimate light without spherical aberration while allowing the optical axis to remain unobstructed. By using an off-axis section of a parent parabola, these mirrors enable flexible system layouts and improved stray-light control.
Band Optics manufactures Gold Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors for OEMs, research laboratories, and photonics integrators working in infrared, laser, and thermal imaging fields. Gold coatings are particularly well suited for mid-IR and long-wavelength applications due to their high reflectivity and chemical stability. All products are delivered under a custom optics wholesale model, ensuring geometry, coating, and tolerance alignment with system requirements.
Through direct collaboration at www.band-optics.com, customers receive engineering support from design review through volume production.
Gold Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors preserve the ideal parabolic surface performance while shifting the optical path off the central axis. This eliminates central obscuration and improves beam quality in compact optical systems.
Gold coatings offer reflectivity exceeding 98% across infrared wavelengths. A protective overcoat can be applied to enhance durability without compromising optical efficiency, making these mirrors suitable for harsh or high-temperature environments.
As a custom optics wholesale manufacturer, Band Optics supports a wide range of parent focal lengths, off-axis angles, and clear apertures. This flexibility allows Gold Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors to be precisely matched to system-level optical designs.
Mirror substrates are produced using CNC machining followed by high-precision polishing. This process ensures accurate parabolic profiles and low surface roughness.
Each Gold Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror is measured using interferometric and profilometric methods. Surface figure and slope error are verified to meet optical performance targets.
Band Optics supports prototype development, pilot batches, and high-volume manufacturing. All workflows are optimized for repeatability and reliability within custom optics wholesale supply chains. Additional manufacturing details are available at www.band-optics.com.
