Product description
Germanium IR lenses deliver high refractive index and strong transmission in the mid- and long-wave infrared, supporting thermal cameras, gas detection, and industrial IR sensing.
YC Infrared Optics manufactures spherical and aspheric Ge lenses with BBAR or diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings for outdoor and harsh environments. Focusing and imaging designs can be matched to 3–5 μm or 8–12 μm camera bands.
Drawing-based OEM programs are welcome — share EFL, f-number, clear aperture, and coating environment for a production-ready quotation.
