This makes off-axis parabolic mirrors the optic of choice for long-range and precision instrumentation. The unrestricted access these mirrors give to the system’s focal point also leads to compact ...

When parallel light rays hit a parabolic mirror, they all reflect to the same point—the focal point. The location of this focal point depends on the curvature of the mirror—but that's not ...

Additionally, unlike a centred parabolic mirror, an OAP mirror advantageously allows more interactive space around the focal point without disrupting the beam. OAP mirrors are especially suitable for ...
