Key highlights

Dichroic mirrors for space applications deliver reliable, high-transmission performance at critical infrared wavelengths like 1550 nm—essential for laser communication—while providing high reflectance at other wavelength ranges for laser guidance and targeting systems.

OPTOMAN’s dichroic mirrors are built to resist degradation in harsh space environments and maintain spectral precision over extended periods. They ensure the integrity of laser pulses, which is vital for high-data-rate communication links and sensitive guidance mechanisms.

With high LIDT, long-term environmental stability, and excellent optical quality, these components are engineered not only to survive in space but to operate with precision and repeatability throughout demanding missions.

Example:

A typical schematic of a laser system used in space communication highlights the essential role of dichroic mirrors in managing multi-wavelength beam paths.

OPTOMAN’s dichroic mirrors meet all mission-critical demands—low degradation, high LIDT, and environmental durability—to not just survive in space, but thrive.
