Wisoptic’s optical mirrors are available for use with light in the UV,
VIS, and IR spectral regions. Optical mirrors with a metallic coating
have high reflectivity over the widest spectral region, whereas mirrors
with a broadband dielectric coating have a narrower spectral range of
operation; the average reflectivity throughout the specified region is
greater than 99%.

When classified by coatings, Optical Mirrors consist of dielectric mirrors and metallic mirrors. Dielectric mirror is an optical mirror made of thin layers of dielectric coating layers deposited on an optical substrate (UVFS or BK7). WISOPTIC offer dielectric laser mirrors for laser lines, for narrowband or broadband wavelength ranges covering spectrum from UV to IR. Metallic mirrors are coated with protected gold, silver, or aluminum. Metallic mirrors are widely used due to a moderate level of reflection over a very broad spectral range.

A right angle prism is an optical prism designed to deviate light by 90° or 180°, depending on the orientation of the prism and the face through which light enters. The joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base faces, and all joining faces are rectangular. They are often preferable to plane mirrors, because they are easier to mount and align.

Thin film polarizers are based on interference within a dielectric optical thin-film
coating on a thin glass substrate. They are made from composed materials which include a polarizing film, an inner protective film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and an outer protective film. Thin film polarizers are used for polarization separation, that's to say
to change un-polarized beam into linear polarized beam.

Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS) splits incident unpolarized light into two perpendicular linearly polarized light. Among them, p-polarized light passes through completely, while s-polarized light is reflected at 45 deg which makes the emitting direction of s-light vertical to p-light. Additionally, beamsplitters can be used in reverse to combine two
different beams into a single one. Beamsplitters are often classified
according to their construction:cube or plate.Cube PBS are fabricated using two typically right angle prisms.

High
temperature phase BBO (alpha-BBO, a-BBO) is a negative uniaxial crystal
with a large birefringence over the broad transparent range from 189 nm
to 3500 nm. The physical, chemical, thermal, and optical properties of
alpha-BBO crystal are similar to those of the low temperature phase beta-BBO crystal.
However, there is no second order nonlinear effect in alpha-BBO crystal
due to the centrosymmetry in its crystal structure and thus it has no
use for second order nonlinear optical processes.

Barium Borate exists in three major crystalline forms: alpha, beta, and
gamma. The low-temperature beta phase converts into the alpha phase upon
heating to 925 °C. β-BBO differs from α-BBO by the
positions of the barium ions within the crystal. Both phases are
birefringent, however α-BBO has centric symmetry and thus
does not has the same nonlinear properties as β-BBO.α-BBO is a negative uniaxial crystal with a large birefringence over the broad transparent range from 189 nm to 3500 nm.

Polarization is an important characteristic of light. Polarizers are key optical elements for controlling your polarization,
transmitting a desired polarization state while reflecting, absorbing or
deviating the rest. There is a wide variety of polarizer designs, each
with its own advantages and disadvantages.

An aspherical lens features a non-spherical but rotationally symmetric
shape with a curvature radius that changes at various points between the
center and the edge. Although producing this type of lens is difficult,
when manufactured properly, it offers greater functionality than a
comparable spherical lens.Spherical Lenses vs. Aspherical LensesSpherical lenses have a spherical surface and the same radius of
curvature across the entire lens. In contrast, aspherical lenses have a
more complicated surface with a gradually changing curvature from center

Beta-Barium Borate (β-BBO) is an excellent nonlinear crystal with combination of a number of unique features: wide transparency region, broad phase-matching range, large nonlinear coefficient, high damage threshold, and excellent optical homogeneity. Therefore, β-BBO provides an attractive solution for various nonlinear optical applications such as OPA, OPCPA, OPO etc. β-BBO also has advantages of large thermal acceptance bandwidth, high damage threshold and small absorption, thus is very suitable for frequency conversion of high peak or average power laser radiation, e.g.

Optical Prisms are widely used to redirect light at a designated angle. They are ideal for ray deviation, or for adjusting the orientation of an image. An optical prism’s design determines how light interacts with it. When light enters an optical prism, it either reflects off an individual surface or several surfaces before exiting, or is refracted as it travels through the substrate. WISOPTIC offers a wide range of optical prisms with various designs, substrates, or coatings.

Pure LiNbO3 (LN) is a good candidate for various optical devices, but
has a major disadvantage due to its low threshold optical damage. MgO:LN (congruent

One of the most important drawbacks of popular LiNbO3 crystal is its
susceptibility to photorefractive damage (optically induced change of
refractive index, usually under exposure with blue or green CW light).
The usual way to eliminate this effect is to keep LN crystals at
elevated temperatures (400K or more). Another way to prevent
photorefractive damage is MgO-doping (usually at levels of around 5 mol%
for congruent LN).
