Highly reflective (HR) coatings are used to minimize loss while reflecting lasers and other light sources. Absorption and scatter during reflection lead to decreased throughput and potential laser-induced damage. HR coatings are used in common laser optics applications such as folding a laser’s beam path and laser cavity end mirrors. Metallic mirror coatings are used to create reflective components for many applications but laser applications tend to require a higher reflectivity than those offered from standard metallic mirror coatings.
