Detail Information

High IR Transmittance Single Crystal Germanium Protective Window With AR+DLC Dual Coating

Felix Glass germanium ir window is made of high-purity single crystal germanium substrate, the core optical material for 8–14μm long-wave infrared thermal imaging systems. Germanium features ultra-low absorption within LWIR band, completely blocks visible light to avoid stray light interference, and delivers stable thermal performance for continuous industrial infrared detection.

Dual composite coating of AR anti-reflection film + DLC diamond-like carbon hard film is deposited on both surfaces. AR coating maximizes long-wave infrared transmittance, while DLC layer provides high hardness scratch, moisture and oxidation resistance, solving the soft substrate defect of bare germanium and extending service life in harsh outdoor environments. Flat polished plane ensures no optical distortion for thermal imaging sensor detection.

Core Optical Specifications

OEM Manufacturing Capability

We provide full one-stop germanium optical processing including single crystal blank cutting, ultra-precision flat polishing, dual AR+DLC composite coating, edge deburring, strict 8–14μm spectral transmittance testing and surface hardness inspection.

Prototype sampling, small-batch trial production and mass manufacturing are supported. Every AR+DLC coated germanium window is fully tested to meet customer-specified spectral, dimensional and coating hardness requirements before delivery.

FAQ

1. What is the function of AR+DLC dual coating on germanium window?

AR coating reduces infrared surface reflection to improve 8–14μm transmittance; DLC diamond-like carbon hard film increases surface hardness, resisting scratch, water vapor and oxidation to protect soft germanium substrate.

2. Why germanium instead of ZnSe for pure long-wave thermal imaging?

Germanium fully blocks visible light to eliminate stray light interference, ideal for single-band LWIR thermal imaging; ZnSe transmits visible light, only suitable for multi-spectrum dual-band systems.

3. Can I customize window size and coating parameters?

Yes, we support custom round/rectangular outline, thickness, and AR+DLC coating optimized for 8–14μm long-wave infrared thermal imaging wavelength.

4. What equipment matches this AR+DLC coated germanium protective window?

It fits vehicle night vision thermal cameras, industrial online temperature measuring equipment, handheld thermal imagers and laboratory LWIR infrared spectrometers.

5. Do you offer sample and mass production for germanium infrared optics?

We supply prototype sampling, small trial batches and large-scale manufacturing, all germanium windows pass full spectral transmittance and surface hardness inspection before shipment.
