Edmund Optics® Introduces Zerodur® Laser Line Mirrors for Thermal Stability in Precision Optical Systems

Minimise alignment drift and maximise beam quality with laser mirrors built for demanding thermal conditions.

Edmund Optics® has expanded its range of TECHSPEC® Laser Line Mirrors to include options manufactured with Zerodur®—a glass-ceramic substrate renowned for its ultra-low thermal expansion. Designed for integration into laser systems operating in thermally dynamic environments, these mirrors offer exceptional stability and optical performance.

For engineers working in aerospace, satellite systems, or research environments where thermal fluctuations are unavoidable, the TECHSPEC® Laser Line Zerodur® Mirrors provide a clear performance advantage. The combination of Zerodur® substrate and Edmund Optics’ high-efficiency dielectric coatings ensure minimal alignment drift, consistent beam quality, high reflectivity, and increased resistance to laser-induced damage.

Available off-the-shelf with coatings for common laser lines including Yb-doped (1030 – 1080nm), Nd:YAG (1064nm), their respective harmonics, and dual-band configurations, these mirrors are available with fast shipping for rapid system integration. Custom coatings are also available across the 248nm–40µm range, supporting a wide array of specialised applications.

With the addition of these laser-line options, alongside its existing broadband Zerodur® mirror range, Edmund Optics now offers its most comprehensive portfolio of off-the-shelf Zerodur® mirrors—designed to support a wide array of customer applications across industries.
