Plano-convex and plano-concave toroidal mirrors for imaging applications

Optical Surfaces

Optical Surfaces offers a range of plano-convex and plano-concave toroidal mirrors for spectroscopic and imaging applications.

The company produces custom toroidal mirrors in a range of materials (Zerodur, BK7, Fused Silica) with typical surface accuracy of better than lambda/5 and surface quality of 20:10 scratch dig.

Optical Surfaces can produce both Plano-convex and Plano-concave toroidal mirrors in a range of shapes — largest dimension up to 400mm — with durable optical coatings.

Key specifications

  • Offers advantages where a beam must be focused and folded
  • Rather than using both a spherical mirror and a plane mirror, both functions may be combined in one element
  • The lower number of optical elements increases energy throughput, saves money and also allows for more compact designs
  • Toroidal mirrors also correct for the astigmatism that result when a spherical mirror is used off axis
