Custom Chalcogenide Optics

16 Sep 2024

Chalcogenide Optics

Chalcogenide glass, made from sulfur, selenium, and tellurium, is ideal for infrared applications due to its superior infrared transmission, high refractive index, and exceptional nonlinearity. It excels in the 3-5 µm and 8-12 µm bands, making it valuable for thermal imaging, sensing, and spectroscopy. 

Cost-Effective Alternative to Germanium Optics

Chalcogenide optics offer a compelling alternative to traditional Germanium optics. With comparable performance in many applications and often lower cost, chalcogenide materials provide an attractive option for optical designers seeking to optimize their systems. 

Precision Molding for High Performance and High Quality

Avantier’s chalcogenide optics are produced using advanced glass molding techniques, ensuring exceptional precision, consistency, and optical quality. We offer a wide range of customizable lens shapes and sizes to meet your specific project requirements.
