Infrared Optics

Infrared Optics

IR optics support the selection, and optimization of infrared light. Dynasil, through Dynasil Fused Silica, EMF, Hilger Crystals and Optometrics, provides optical materials like Corning 7979 IR synthetic fused silica, windows, optical components such as beamsplitters and diffractive, reflective, and transmissive optical coatings for infrared optics.

An infrared or IR coating can be applied to a variety of IR substrates like Silicon, Germanium, Zinc Sulfide, Zinc Selenide and Chalcogenides to achieve desired spectral characteristics.

Here’s a graph showing the transmission characteristics of typical IR optics.
