Silicon Aspheric Lenses

×
  • Diffraction-Limited Performance
  • Low Density and Dispersion
  • Ideal for Weight Sensitive IR Applications
  • Available with BBAR (1650-3000nm) or Mid-Wave Infrared (3000-5000nm) AR Coatings

TECHSPEC® Silicon Aspheric Lenses are high performance, lightweight solutions for BBAR and Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) applications and are ideal alternatives for costly ZnSe lenses and brittle Germanium lenses. These lenses are available with efficient broadband AR coatings for the BBAR (1650-3000nm) or MWIR (3000-5000nm) spectral regions. TECHSPEC Silicon Aspheric Lenses feature the mechanical and thermal properties required to withstand many of the effects of harsh environments including fluctuations in temperature and pressure. Because silicon is a low density material, these lenses are also ideal for weight-sensitive systems, such as those found in many defense applications.
