What are the advantages of dielectric coating?
High reflectivity: in the designed wavelength range, the reflectivity can exceed 99.9%, much higher than metallic mirrors (usually 90%~98%).
Low absorption loss: the dielectric coating is virtually non-absorbing, making it suitable for high power laser applications.
What are the disadvantages of dielectric coating?
The reflection characteristics vary with the angle of incidence, and a large angle of incidence may result in a shift in the center wavelength.
