Precision Hot Mirrors For Heat Control
Heat control filters are a type of dichroic filter that is used to remove unwanted energy (heat) emitted from a light source. Abrisa Technologies, ZC&R Coatings for Optics division provides precision hot mirrors for medical, aerospace/defense, entertainment, life sciences, digital photography, and a host of other industrial applications.
Abrisa Technologies can supply hot mirrors or short wave pass filters (SWP) for heat control applications. For hot mirrors, a thin film coating is applied to a glass substrate, such as soda-lime or borosilicate, in order to reflect infrared radiation either as a means to harness the reflected wavelengths for an application or remove them from an application. Simplified, a hot mirror will separate visible light from heat. Hot mirrors are typically provided on a cut to order basis in thicknesses of 1.1 mm, and 3.3mm and in diameters up to 27”. Custom sizes and thicknesses and specialty designs are available upon request.
Features Include:
- High transmission for the visible light range
- High reflection of infrared
- Heat resistant borosilicate glass substrates – SCHOTT Borofloat®
- Thin film dielectric multi-layer coating
- Standard angles of incidence are 0 and 45 degrees
