Shanghai Optics
Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors mirrors can be used in broadband UV, visible, and IR applications. Understanding Parabolic Mirrors. A parabolic mirror is a reflector in the shape of a circular paraboloid. Typically made of a highly reflective material such as aluminum, a standard parabolic mirror will center on the vertex of the paraboloid. This is the point where the curvature is greatest, and where the paraboloid is symmetrically divided by its axis. Parabolic mirrors are effective at collecting collimating light...
