Felix Glass Expands IR Optics Production | Faster Lead Time for Custom ZnS, ZnSe, Sapphire & Fused Silica Windows

Oct 15,2026

Felix Glass, a specialized manufacturer of precision infrared optical components, announces a full upgrade to its optical finishing workshop to address supply delays and high prototyping costs that thermal imaging, aerospace and industrial laser system integrators face today.

The expanded production line is fully equipped for custom fabrication of ZnS windows, ZnSe optics, sapphire domes and fused silica optical components. Our upgraded workshop supports larger blank sizes, ultra‑precision polishing, and in‑house anti‑reflection coating optimized for the 3–14μm IR band.


Key benefits for your project:

  • Fast prototype trial orders, support custom drawing review
  • Tight surface tolerance & consistent batch quality for series production
  • In‑house coating service to cut lead time and reduce cross‑vendor risk
  • One‑stop solution from blank, grinding, polishing, coating to vacuum packaging

Many IR system developers struggle with long lead times and expensive minimum order quantities from overseas optical suppliers. Felix Glass’s new capacity lowers MOQ for R&D prototypes while maintaining metrology inspection at every production step. These IR optics serve thermal imaging, infrared detection, aerospace EO systems and industrial laser applications.

“Our investment in polishing and optical metrology equipment targets one core goal: help IR product developers shorten R&D cycles and avoid supply bottlenecks,” commented Felix Glass Operation Manager. “We understand your prototype schedule cannot wait. Our engineering team reviews custom drawings and provides technical quotation within 24 hours.”

Felix Glass has 19 years of precision optical machining experience, serving OEM and ODM customers worldwide. Besides infrared optics, we also produce sapphire optical windows for high‑temperature and UV‑IR working scenarios. We welcome your custom drawing, print or specification sheet for technical evaluation.
