Avantier specializes in creating custom optical domes designed to meet unique application requirements. By collaborating closely with clients, we deliver optimized solutions, recommending suitable substrates, coatings, and geometric designs instead of relying on static catalog options.
Substrate Materials
We work with a variety of high-performance materials, including:
- Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) Ceramic Domes
- Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) Domes
- Germanium Domes
- Sapphire Domes
- Fused Silica Domes
These materials offer exceptional durability, clarity, and resistance to extreme environmental conditions.
Engineering Expertise
Our team of optical engineers excels in developing high-precision geometric designs and selecting custom optical coatings to enhance performance. Additionally, we design special adapter interface surfaces and mechanical mounts tailored to specific operational needs.
Key Applications
-
Underwater Cameras and Imaging
Optical domes ensure smooth operation in high-pressure deep-sea environments, safeguarding optical systems in submersible ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) and AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) while maintaining a clear field of view.
-
Defense
Infrared domes are essential in heat-seeking missile systems, providing wide-angle viewing without beam deflection. Substrates like sapphire and MgF2 withstand extreme conditions, ensuring durability and reliability.
-
Weather Monitoring
Optical domes protect sensitive components in weather monitoring systems while enabling accurate data collection, even in harsh environments.
-
Navigation Systems
Domes enhance navigation systems by delivering precision optics and robust protection for critical components.
-
Head Protection Optics
Designed for specialized applications, these domes provide optical functionality while protecting users in demanding environments.
-
Security Technology
Optical domes support surveillance and monitoring systems by providing clear, distortion-free images while protecting sensitive optical elements.
With a focus on precision and customization, Avantier’s optical domes meet the highest standards for performance, reliability, and versatility across industries. Learn more https://avantierinc.com/solutions/custom-optics/optical-domes/ |
