Infrared Optics
Chalcogenide material is ideal for mid-IR optics because they have a wide transmission range from 0.5μm to 25μm, low refractive index temperature coefficient (dN/dT), low dispersion, and versatile glass compositions. The benefits of Chalcogenide in comparison with Germanium (Ge), Zinc Selenide (ZnSe), and other IR materials are allowing higher production efficiency thus lowering production costs and consumption of scarce resources like Ge.
Infrared (IR) optics are used to collect, focus or collimate light in the near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MWIR) or long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectra. The wavelength of our IR imaging optics is ranged between 700 – 16000nm and they are widely used in life-science, security, machine vision, thermal imaging, and industrial applications. We design, develop, prototype, manufacture, and assemble IR systems with our in-house manufacturing unit using diamond turning with the laser-assisted tool, automated CNC polishing machines, coating, and customized metrology capabilities.
