Your IR & Laser optics components solution
Our realisations
SINOPTIX offers specific optical components solutions for IR & Laser applications. Please browse below for some examples of our realizations.
IR & LASER OPTICS PARTICULARITIES
Components for IR & Laser applications are specific as they are working usually in the non visible range, which means with specific material and surface treatments.
Quality control is also adapted to related requests : specific wavelength testing and damage threshold measurement / guaranty.
AVAILABLE IR MATERIALS
On the below table you’ll find optical material references and caracteristics for manufacturing of IR optics.
| MATERIAL | SPECTRAL RANGE | ASPECT & REMARKS | Price reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| CALCIUM FLUORIDE (CAF2) | 180nm – 8µm | No color to light grey | $ |
| MAGNESIUM FLUORIDE (MGF2) | 200nm-6µm | Glass color, more robust than CaF2 | $$ |
| GERMANIUM (GE) | 2-15µm | non visible transparent grey with light metal reflects, good for Far Infrared | $$ |
| ZINC SELENIDE (ZNSE) | 600nm – 20µm | yellow partially visible transparent, used in CO2 laser applications | $$$ |
| BARIUM FLUORIDE (BAF2) | 190nm-10µm | visible transparent yellow, good UV transmission | $$$$ |
| SILICON (SI) | 1-10µm | non-transparent in the visible, metallic color, IR transmission only | $$$$$ |
