A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that is recessed inward (away from the incident light). Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point. They are used to focus light. Unlike convex mirrors, concave mirrors show different image types depending on the distance between the object and the mirror.

A mirror reflecting the image of a vase A first-surface mirror coated with aluminium and enhanced with dielectric coatings.

Catoptrics (from Ancient Greek: κατοπτρικός katoptrikós, "specular", [1] from Ancient Greek: κάτοπτρον katoptron "mirror" [2]) deals with the phenomena of reflected light and image-forming optical systems using mirrors. A catoptric system is also called a catopter (catoptre).

For concave lenses, the focal point is on the back side of the lens, or the output side of the focal plane, and is negative in power. A lens with no optical power is called an optical window, having flat, parallel faces. The optical power directly relates to how large positive images will be magnified, and how small negative images will be ...
