Chalcogenides
Chalcogenide glass provides an excellent cost-effective alternative to germanium for many commercial IR imaging applications. It is valued for its stable refractive index, good dispersion characteristics, and compatibility with high-precision molding methods for volume production.
Key characteristics
- Excellent uniformity and stability
- Suitable for mass-manufactured molded optics
- Common material families include Ge-As-Se, Ge-Sb-Se, As₂Se₃, and As₂S₃
Quality & Reliability
All materials are produced and processed under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified systems. Each batch undergoes dimensional, optical, and chemical checks to ensure consistency and traceability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available on request.
