ALL-POLYMERIC COLD MIRROR

摘要

An all-polymeric cold mirror which reflects visible wavelengths while transmitting a substantial portion of infrared wavelengths is provided. The mirror includes a sufficient number of alternating layers of at least first and second diverse polymeric materials such that at least 50 percent of peak reflecting visible light of a wavelength of between 380 to 680 nm incident on the mirror is reflected and at least 50 percent of infrared light between 680 to 2000 nm is transmitted or absorbed. The mirror may be designed so that it either reflects or absorbs ultraviolet light.
