Custom Hollow Curved Optical Dome / Aerodynamic Optical Dome from Felix Glass ZnS Hemispherical Optical Dome Ellipsoidal Airborne Optical Dome Ogival Sapphire Optical Dome BBAR / DLC Coated IR Optical Dome Optical Dome is a hollow curved optical shell mounted outside cameras or optical sensors. It combines optical window, environmental protection and (for aerospace version) aerodynamic shaping. It is not a solid lens. The inner cavity reserves space for lenses and detectors, both inner and outer surfaces are precision optically polished. Hemispherical, spherical cap, ellipsoidal, ogival (pointed arch). Shape selection depends on FOV, imaging performance and aerodynamic requirements. Curved surface refraction will introduce aberration, so curvature, wall thickness uniformity and air gap with rear optics must be co-simulated with your optical system. Airborne survey camera pods, thermal infrared imaging, multi-spectral payload, underwater optical detection, security optical sensors, UAV electro-optical systems. Felix Glass Note: “Optical Dome” is the general category. The term “Optical Fairing / Optical Radome” is specially used for aerospace models with aerodynamic requirements.Optical Dome | Optical Fairing (Optical Radome)
