Also called a polygon mirror. In addition to being used as an angle standard, some rotate at high speed and are used to scan light beams such as lasers. A cylinder is machined into a regular polygonal prism, and each side of the cylinder is finished with a mirror surface so that it can adequately reflect light. It is made of glass or metal and is usually installed in a protective case. The angle standard is the angle θ between the normal to each reflecting surface projected onto a plane parallel to the base. There are various types of polygon mirrors, ranging from 6-sided mirrors (θ = 60°) to 72-sided mirrors (θ = 5°). Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
ポリゴン鏡ともいう。角度の標準器として用いられるほか,高速回転し,レーザーなどの光線を走査するために用いられるものとがある。円柱を正多角柱に加工し,その各側面が光線を十分反射するよう鏡面に仕上げられている。ガラス,または金属製でふつう保護ケースに組み込まれている。底面と平行な平面に投影された各反射面の法線とのなす角θを角度の標準にする。多面鏡は6面鏡(θ=60゜)から72面鏡(θ=5゜)までの各種のものがある。
