dichroic mirror

Dichroic Mirrors: Dichroic mirrors are unique in that these types of filters have the ability to selectively reflect light using colors while other with unselected wavelengths can pass through. This cool feature is obtained through deposition of metal on glass over multiple layers. This has layered work and that results in a beautiful effect visual format. Stare at a dichroic mirror and it reflects one color back, while another is given passage through the glass surface producing vibrant mirrors that catch your eye.

It is interesting what happens with a dichroic mirror when light hits it. This light is then split in two: one segment will bounce back (in your direction) and the other section will pass through. Metallic coating on the mirror surface decides about that light color which we received back. In the meantime, light that passes through comes through as whatever color it was originally (fancy lovely colors for everyone watching).

The Science Behind Dichroic Mirrors

Applications of Dichroic mirrors Scientific tools like telescopes, microscopes and cameras are rife with them. These mirrors allow scientist and photographers to capture extremely detailed images. In addition to scientific instrumentation, dichroic filters are widely used in some stage lighting and effects. These produce beautiful lighting colors that can light up an area aesthetically.

Basically, dichroic mirrors work based on the technology which relies upon lightwaves. When waves of light join, they can either amplify and be brighter than the individual lights or cancel to darkness. The metal layers act as a filter in the instance of dichroic mirrors. This filter filters out the other colors of light while a lowpass allows only some color wavelengths to pass, which makes this effect striking.
