Gold (Au) coated reflection mirrors have high reflectance in a wide infrared range.
—¦Chromium (Cr) is deliberately undercoated to better reinforce the adhesion of gold to the substrate.
—¦Gold mirrors with silicon substrates have higher durability than glass because gold coating adheres much stronger to silicon and has a higher thermal conductivity. (thermal conductivity of silicon is 111 times better compared to glass)
