Materials for visible and UV defence optics

For optical systems operating in the UV and visible spectrum, materials such as fused silica and sapphire offer excellent optical performance and environmental stability.

High optical homogeneity, low thermal expansion and excellent UV transmission make fused silica suitable for precision imaging, laser and sensing applications.

Exceptional hardness, scratch resistance and thermal stability make sapphire an excellent choice for exposed optical windows and harsh-environment defence systems.

Infrared defence systems require optical materials specifically selected for their transmission in the MWIR and LWIR wavelength regions.

Widely used for LWIR thermal imaging, surveillance and infrared detection systems. Germanium combines excellent infrared transmission with a high refractive index.

A lightweight and mechanically strong material particularly suitable for near-IR and MWIR optical systems.

Offers broad infrared transmission and is well suited for MWIR, LWIR, spectroscopy and infrared laser applications.
