Double-Side Polished High-Purity SiC Mirror Optical Component for MEMS Micromirror
A Small-Size Double-Side Polished Silicon Carbide (SiC) Mirror is a high-performance optical component manufactured from ultra-high-purity silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic through precision machining and double-side polishing (DSP) technology. Its core features include compact dimensions (typically ≤50mm in diameter or side length) and nanoscale surface finish on both sides, specifically designed for modern high-end optoelectronic systems with extreme requirements for size, weight, stability, and optical precision. Leveraging the inherent properties of silicon carbide—ultra-high hardness, high stiffness, low thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity, and exceptional chemical stability—it is produced via processes such as reaction sintering, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), or pressureless sintering. The implementation of double-side ultra-precision polishing (surface roughness Ra typically ≤0.5 nm) enables it to serve as a core component in many compact precision optical devices.

1. Q: How do SiC mirrors work in optics?
A: SiC mirrors function by leveraging silicon carbide's extremely low thermal expansion coefficient (~4.5×10⁻⁶/℃), high thermal conductivity (~120–200 W/m·K), and high stiffness (>400 GPa) to maintain nanoscale surface stability under extreme temperatures and mechanical stress, ensuring minimal distortion in high-precision optical systems like space telescopes or EUV lithography equipment.
2. Q: How does a silicon carbide (SiC) mirror perform in extreme environments?
A: Silicon carbide (SiC) mirrors excel in extreme environments due to their extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion and exceptional thermal stability. For instance, in space applications, they operate reliably across a temperature range from -60°C to 180°C. In automotive LiDAR systems, where engine compartment temperatures can exceed 125°C, SiC mirrors maintain minimal surface deformation. Additionally, their high hardness (Mohs hardness of 9.5) and superior chemical inertness enable effective resistance to vibration, impact, and corrosion from acids or alkalis, ensuring long-term stability under harsh conditions.
