Product description
Silicon optical lenses are used in selected NIR and MIR designs where substrate cost, density, and thermal properties matter. Silicon transmits usefully in portions of the infrared and machines well for spherical and aspheric forms.
We produce Si lenses with AR coatings tuned to the working band. Parts can be supplied as singlets or as elements within multi-lens IR assemblies for OEM instruments.
Provide wavelength, EFL, diameter, and coating environment with your RFQ for a precise manufacturing plan.
