Precision MWIR / LWIR IR domes for thermal imaging, EO/IR and infrared sensor systems. Custom Germanium, Silicon, ZnSe and ZnS infrared optical domes manufactured to your wavelength, geometry, optical and environmental requirements. Felix Glass provides precision CNC machining, grinding, optical polishing, IR AR coating and inspection from prototype to production. MWIR / LWIR•Custom Geometry•IR AR Coating•Prototype to Production Drawing / CAD · Dimensions · Wavelength · Application · Reference Sample A complete optical drawing is not required to start the initial RFQ. Diameter, radius, thickness, height, clear aperture and mounting features must work together. A mechanically accurate dome is not necessarily an optically suitable dome. An AR coating must match the substrate and actual operating wavelength. Outdoor and industrial IR systems may face temperature variation, moisture, dust, vibration or other environmental conditions. A successful prototype must maintain dimensional, optical and coating consistency during production. Ge · Si · ZnSe · ZnS Material is selected according to actual wavelength, optical requirements, mechanical requirements and operating environment. SWIR · MWIR · LWIR · Custom IR Operating wavelength is one of the first parameters required for material and coating evaluation. Hemispherical · Spherical · Custom Diameter · Radius · Height · Thickness · Clear Aperture · Edge · Mounting Interface Grinding · Polishing · IR AR Coating Optical surfaces and coatings are manufactured according to approved application requirements.
