    Off Axis Parabolic Mirror - SZLASER

    An off-axis parabolic mirror (OAP) is a useful tool in optical design. It combines the achromatic and diffraction-limited imaging properties of a parabolic mirror with the ability to deviate the light path off-axis, which is useful for most imaging …

    What is an OAP mirror?
    OAP mirrors are designed to focus or collimate broadband light without introducing spherical aberration Improved image quality: Off-axis parabolic mirrors have a larger field of view and produce sharper, distortion-free images with no spherical or coma aberration.

    What is the difference between centered and OAP mirrors?
    Collimated light that is incident to an OAP mirror is focused to a point. However, unlike a centered parabolic mirror, an OAP mirror has an advantage in that it allows more interactive space around the focal point without disrupting the beam as shown in Figure 2. Figure 1: Gold-coated off-axis parabolic mirrors

    How are OAP dimensions determined?
    However, OAP dimensions for purposes of alignment to an optical axis are determined by the way the incident or reflected light projects onto the surface. The nature of off-axis association to an optic axis often leads to an off-centered clear aperture whereby the optic axis and optic center of rotation no longer align.

    How do you use an OAP in a spherical beam?
    The center of the OAP in the vertical direction should match the center of the beam. Place the horizontal center of the OAP at one focal length distance from the origin of the spherical wave. Be sure to use the reflected focal length, not the parent focal length. Approximate the angle of the OAP to match the designed reflection angle.

    What is the focal length of an OAP?
    Figure 1: OAP Geometry Focal Length: Every OAP has two consequential focal lengths – the parent or vertex focal length and the focal length of the off-axis section. The parent focal length “ fp ” is measured from the vertex (a virtual dimension for an off-axis parabola) and the focus. fp is exactly one half of the Radius of Curvature.
