High reflective coatings are used to minimize loss while reflecting lasers and other light sources. Absorption and scatter during reflection lead to decreased throughput and potential laser-induced damage. Highly reflective coatings are used in common laser optics applications such as folding a laser’s beam path and laser cavity end mirrors.

Metallic mirror coatings are used to create reflective components for many applications but laser applications tend to require a higher reflectivity than those offered from standard metallic mirror coatings. Because of this, multilayer dielectric high reflective coatings are usually used for laser mirrors instead of metallic mirror coatings, as they can achieve higher reflectivity.
