Sterling Precision Optics, a trusted leader in custom optics manufacturing since 1958, proudly offers specialized solutions in the form of custom hot mirrors. Designed to effectively reflect infrared (IR) radiation while allowing visible light to pass through, Sterling’s hot mirrors are essential in managing heat in advanced optical systems.

What Are Hot Mirrors?

Hot mirrors are optical components engineered with precision dielectric coatings that create a selective wavelength reflection and transmission. By reflecting IR light and transmitting visible light, these mirrors serve a critical role in various industries where heat management is necessary without compromising visible light performance.

Custom Solutions for Critical Applications

Sterling Precision Optics understands that no two projects are the same. Whether for a high-performance projection system, a precision imaging camera, or sophisticated lighting technology, our custom hot mirrors are fabricated to exact specifications. Our mirrors are designed to meet the most demanding requirements, ensuring that unwanted heat is managed efficiently, extending the life of components and enhancing system performance.

Applications of Hot Mirrors Include:

• Projectors: Our hot mirrors effectively reflect IR light to protect sensitive internal components, while ensuring optimal light transmission for bright, clear visuals.
• Cameras: By filtering out IR light, Sterling’s hot mirrors improve image quality by preventing sensor overload and ensuring only visible light is captured.
• Lighting Systems: In professional stage lighting or medical device lighting, our custom hot mirrors allow for intense lighting while controlling heat to maintain system integrity.
