What is a cold mirror?
A cold mirror is a dielectric glass filter that is used to remove thermal content from the light that hits the surface. It transmits infrared light and can also reflect non -infrared light spectral belts, helping to eliminate heat that is undesirable or that can damage the device. Facilities that include a dichroic filter of cold mirror include film and photographic equipment, various types of lighting systems, surgical lighting, dental surgery lights, projectors and photocopies. They are commonly used with fiber optics because ultraviolet and infrared light can damage the optical wire fiber or other device used in conjunction with it. Heat is also exhausted from conductors and equipment that could be very sensitive to temperature changes. Potentially harmful light is captured by a cold mirror and reflects from everything that can be negatively affected by light radiation at certain wavelengths. You can order various oblique mirrors. Cold dielectric mirrorsLO is often designed with an operating angle of 45 ° and is able to reflect more than 95% of light when transferring 85% or more infrared heat to which it is exposed. Manufacturers often allow customers to directly order cold mirrors with their own angles that meet their requirements.
It is possible to order a cold mirror that can reflect most of the ultraviolet light that affects it when transferring up to 90% of visible and other light. Cold dielectric mirrors are also available as coatings that can tolerate extreme environmental conditions, unlike metal coatings that are unfavorable to wide temperature changes and humidity. Combining various mirrors can increase the reflecting capacity and allow the use of a new light filter system at different bandwidths than each product itself specified.
A cold mirror may contain a durable design that is capable of toleraOut moisture and exposed to abrasive materials. Mirrors are available as strong as they are on military standards. All specifications should be outlined by the manufacturer on the specifications or on the company's website. Knowing the requirements of the application and the abilities of each mirror is important to get a cold mirror that works exactly as it should.
