Core Pain Points We Solve
Ordinary glass domes block infrared spectrum, resulting in invalid thermal imaging and low detection accuracy
Untargeted coating causes low MWIR/LWIR transmittance, blurring night thermal surveillance footage
Generic optical domes suffer thermal shock and abrasion in high-frequency thermal detection scenarios
Most suppliers cannot customize precise spectral coatings for exclusive infrared wavelength bands
Product Key Advantages
Professional IR Transparent Material System
Exclusive selection of infrared-specific materials including ZnS, ZnSe and infrared-grade sapphire. Perfectly adapt to MWIR (3–5μm) and LWIR (8–14μm) working bands, solving the fundamental problem that ordinary optical glass cannot transmit infrared light.
Custom MWIR/LWIR Targeted AR Coating
Support customized single-band and dual-band infrared anti-reflection coatings. Greatly improves infrared spectral transmittance, suppresses stray light and background interference, and delivers clearer thermal imaging contrast for night surveillance.
Ultra-Low Distortion Infrared Polishing

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between IR dome and ordinary optical dome?
A: Ordinary glass cannot transmit mid-wave and long-wave infrared light. Our IR domes adopt professional infrared materials and targeted coatings, specially designed for thermal imaging and infrared detection systems.
Q2: Can you customize coating for specific infrared wavelength?
A: Yes. We support exclusive AR coating customization for 3–5μm MWIR and 8–14μm LWIR, and can develop special spectral solutions according to your camera chip parameters.
Q3: Which material should I choose, ZnS, ZnSe or sapphire?
A: ZnS is cost-effective for conventional thermal imaging; ZnSe has higher transmittance for high-end LWIR equipment; infrared sapphire is more suitable for scenarios requiring high hardness and impact resistance.
Q4: Do you support custom diameter and thickness?
A: Fully customizable. We provide OEM processing according to your turret installation size, structural tolerance and optical design requirements.
