| | Laser mirrors, dichroic, cold and hot mirrors, other thin-film coated mirrors |
 | | Laser mirrors are formed as low-absorption multilayer dielectric coatings on the surfaces of YAG, Nd-glass, ruby, alexandrite, and other solid-state laser materials, or on the surfaces of other laser optical elements. |
 | | A cold mirror solves this problem neatly: it reflects the visible light but passes nearly all of the harmful infrared light through, as indicated in Fig. |
 | | These mirrors have passed heat and quick- cooling tests as specified by the Japanese Industrial Standards, and have proved superior to rear-silvered, protected mirrors and front aluminized mirrors in tests of resistance to water, acids, alkalis and salt water. |
