Hot Mirror Vs Cold Mirror Comparison Emf Hot mirrors block heat by reflecting infrared light away from optical components. it prevents overheating inside the devices and causes smooth results. cold mirrors are opposite and allow infrared light to pass through. Cold mirrors reflect the shorter wavelengths and transmit the heat (infrared). a cold mirror can be specified for an angle of incidence ranging from zero to 45 degrees. they are made by applying a multi layer dielectric coating to the glass substrate such as borofloat® borosilicate glass.
Hot Mirror Vs Cold Mirror Comparison Emf Hot mirrors reflect near infrared (nir) and infrared (ir) light, allowing ultraviolet (uv) and visible light to pass through. in contrast, cold mirrors reflect uv and visible light while transmitting nir and ir wavelengths. Cold mirror. in contrast to the hot mirror, a cold mirror only reflects visible light and lets infrared (ir) radiation pass through. an interesting application of cold mirrors is in head up displays (huds) like the ones used in cars and trucks, flight simulators and airplane cockpits. A cold mirror efficiently transmits infrared wavelengths while reflecting all visible light, whereas a hot mirror reflects infrared wavelengths while transmitting visible light. both mirrors are used to filter unwanted heat or energy out of a system. Hot mirrors are most commonly used at normal incidence, but custom angles of incidence can be designed to specification. they are very effective in applications where there are space limitations. cold mirrors reflect the shorter wavelengths of visible radiation and transmit infrared radiation producing a cool beam of reflected visible light.

Emf’s standard line of high transmission hot mirrors are an excellent choice for preventing undesirable heat from damaging thermally unstable materials or altering the spectral characteristics beyond that position in a light path by reflecting infrared light while allowing visible light to transmit. Examples include hot mirrors (which reflect ir nir), cold mirrors (which reflect shorter wavelengths and transmit longer wavelengths – often used in lamp assemblies) and order sorting filters (unwanted wavelengths are reflected).
