2. Mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror

   A mirror reflecting the image of a vase A first-surface mirror coated with aluminium and enhanced with dielectric coatings. The angle of the incident light (represented by both the light in the mirror and the shadow behind it) exactly matches the angle of reflection (the reflected light shining on the table). 4.5-metre (15 ft)-tall acoustic mirror near Kilnsea Grange, East Yorkshire, UK, from ...

3. Dielectric mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_mirror

   An electron microscope image of an approximately 13 micrometre piece of dielectric mirror being cut from a larger substrate. Alternating layers of Ta 2 O 5 and SiO 2 are visible on the bottom edge. The manufacturing techniques for dielectric mirrors are based on thin-film deposition methods.

4. Transfer-matrix method (optics) - Wikipedia

   A stack of layers can then be represented as a system matrix, which is the product of the individual layer matrices. The final step of the method involves converting the system matrix back into reflection and transmission coefficients .

5. Optical coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coating

   Each layer pair is designed to have a thickness equal to half the wavelength of light to be reflected. Constructive interference between scattered light from each layer causes the mirror to reflect EUV light of the desired wavelength as would a normal metal mirror in visible light. Using multilayer optics it is possible to reflect up to 70% of ...

6. Perfect mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_mirror

   Dielectric mirrors are glass or other substrates on which one or more layers of dielectric material are deposited, to form an optical coating. A very complex dielectric mirror can reflect up to 99.999% of the light incident upon it, for a narrow range of wavelengths and angles. A simpler mirror may reflect 99.9% of the light, but may cover a ...

7. Silvering - Wikipedia

   However, the glass layer may absorb some of the light and cause distortions and optical aberrations due to refraction at the front surface, and multiple additional reflections on it, giving rise to "ghost images" (although some optical mirrors such as Mangins take advantage of it).

8. First-surface mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-surface_mirror

   Example of a second-surface mirror (left) and a first-surface mirror (right).In both pictures, the pen is touching the surface of the mirror. "Ghosting" (a faint reflection from the first layer) is visible in the left image (more obvious when this file is displayed at full-size).

9. Chirped mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirped_mirror

   This electron microscope image of a tiny circular piece of dielectric mirror being cut out from a larger substrate clearly shows the periodic layered structure of the mirror. The spacing of each layer determines the wavelength of light that is reflected by that layer. In a chirped dielectric mirror the deeper layers would be thicker than the ...
