Chalcogenide Glass Lenses and Balls
Broad IR Transmission Range: Chalcogenide glass lenses transmit effectively across a wide spectral range from 3 µm to 12 µm, covering both MWIR and LWIR regions.
Superior Thermal Properties: The low temperature coefficients of the refractive index make these lenses ideal for athermalized optical systems, which maintain focus despite temperature variations.
Cost-Effective: The production cost of Chalcogenide glass is significantly lower than that of many IR crystal materials, such as Germanium, making it an economical alternative.
High-Precision Molding: Chalcogenide glass can be molded with high precision, allowing for the efficient production of complex shapes, including aspheric lenses.
Versatility in Applications: These lenses are suitable for a wide range of applications, including thermal imaging, IR spectroscopy, and military optics.
Applications: Infrared optics, thermal imaging, IR spectroscopy, athermalized lens assemblies.
