CRD Optics offers ultra-high reflectivity mirrors for use in Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy and other optical cavity applications over a wide wavelength range. We have a stock supply of both mirrors and mirror mounting hardware which can be used to adapt user supplied gas cells or vacuum systems for use as Cavity Ringdown cavities. Custom optics, wavelength coatings, and hardware can be provided on request. CRD Optics can also provide assistance with coating requirements for specific applications.

Our mirrors are produced using the highest optical quality super-polished surfaces to eliminate scatter losses. The coatings are optimized for specific wavelength ranges and are designed to provide the highest reflectivity possible. The rear face of each optic is typically AR coated to reduce secondary reflections. Mirror mounts provide a 2.75 inch flange fitting for connection to user vacuum systems (see Components Pages).

These parameters allow for the construction of Cavity Ringdown sample cavities which are easy to align and use for both pulsed light source operation as well as continuous laser injection. Custom designs can also be accommodated. Current stock of mirrors includes those listed on the mirror pages. Contact our sales office at: sales@CRD-Optics.com for availability and price.
