Yutai optics’ steering mirrors direct the laser beam to and allow the movement of the head and gantry transport system. Laser mirrors are designed with a high degree of reflectivity for a specific wavelength or range of wavelengths using various substrates, coatings, or a combination of the two.

Mirrors are ideal for laser applications where space is limited, as a beam can be precisely directed multiple times to fit within a particular area. We will briefly touch on some common mirror types and their properties:
Si Mirror: Silicon Glass Gold coated, great reflective index, not good for anything over 80 watts.
Mo Mirror:  Molybdenum, very tough but the lowest reflective index,great for 80 watt sources or above.
Cu Mirror: Copper, Below gold Si for reflective index but tough and better index than Mo.
K9 Mirror: Close to worthless gold-coated glass (likely from re-melted milk bottles).
