Custom Optical Concave Mirror

What is a Concave Mirror?

A concave mirror is a spherical mirror with a reflective surface that curves inward, resembling the interior of a sphere.

Due to its unique geometry, concave mirrors can converge parallel light rays to a single focal point, making them essential in optical systems requiring light focusing, magnification, and image projection.

What is the difference between a concave and a convex mirror?

Concave Mirror → Parallel rays converge at a real focus.

Convex Mirror → Parallel rays diverge, appearing to come from a virtual focus behind the mirror.

Key Features of Concave Mirrors

• Light Convergence: The mirror can effectively reflect and focuse incoming light.

• High Reflectivity: Coated with aluminum, silver, or dielectric layers for maximum efficiency.

• Customizable Parameters: Chenyu can customize various diameters, curvatures, and coatings.

• Durability: Scratch-resistant surfaces with protective overcoats, suitable for most harsh environments.

• Precision Manufacturing: Low surface roughness and tight tolerance control.

Applications of Concave Mirrors

• Telescopes & Astronomy – It can be used in reflecting telescopes to collect and focus distant starlight.

• Laser Systems – For beam focusing and optical cavity designs.

• Medical Instruments –Some dental mirrors and diagnostic devices also need the mirror.

• Lighting & Projection – Concentrating light in lamps, projectors, and headlights.

• Solar Energy – Focusing sunlight in solar furnaces and thermal power systems.
