Ellipsoidal and Paraboloidal Reflectors

Product catalog summary

Technical Reference and Fundamental Applications

This document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting and understanding various optical components, including lenses, mirrors, and reflectors. It provides detailed specifications and applications for spherical lenses, cylindrical and specialty lenses, optics sets, optical systems, mirrors, and prisms.

Paraboloidal Reflectors

Paraboloidal reflectors are designed to collect radiation from a source at its focal point and reflect it as a collimated beam. They can also focus a collimated beam at its focus. Off-axis paraboloidal reflectors are segments of a full paraboloid, allowing full access to the reflector focus area without shadowing issues.

Reflectance

The reflectance of bright rhodium is depicted in a graph, showing high reflectance across a broad wavelength range.

Ellipsoidal and Paraboloidal Reflectors

These reflectors are used for light collection and illumination applications, offering a broad spectral range and efficient radiation control. Ellipsoidal reflectors have two conjugate foci, allowing light from one focus to pass through the other after reflection, making them suitable for small source sizes like arc lamps.

Dimensions and Models

The document provides detailed dimensions for various models of paraboloidal and ellipsoidal reflectors, including clear aperture, height, and focal lengths. Additional coatings and sizes are available upon request.

Ordering Information

Models are listed with their respective shapes and clear apertures, providing a guide for selecting the appropriate reflector for specific applications.

Alternatively, they can tightly focus a collimated beam at its focus. Off-Axis Paraboloidal Reflectors Our off-axis paraboloidal reflectors are a circular segment from one side of a full paraboloid. The focal point is off the mechanical axis, giving full access to the reflector focus area. There are no shadowing problems if a detector or source is placed at the focus.

Their broad spectral range (200 nm to > 10 ìm) makes them usable for applications where lenses are either too costly or are limited by their transmissive properties. We offer parabolas, off-axis parabolas, and ellipses, which all provide very efficient radiation control since focus or collection is over very large solid angles. This makes them particularly useful for lower power incoherent light sources. Ellipsoidal Reflectors These reflectors have two conjugate foci. Light from one focus passes through the other, after reflection. Ellipsoids collect a much higher fraction of total emitted light than a spherical mirror or conventional lens system. The effective collection f/#s are very low, and the geometry is well suited to the small source size of an arc lamp. Two ellipsoids can almost fully enclose a light source and target to provide nearly total energy transfer. • Collect and focus or collimate UV to far IR radiation efficiently • Economical alternative to IR lens materials • No chromatic aberrations • Easily rod mounted Ellipsoidal Reflector Paraboloidal Reflector Off-Axis Paraboloidal Reflector
