SiLWIR Protective Windows

Germanium is commonly used in LWIR optics for its high refractive index and low dispersion, but its cost and limited supply constrain scalability. Chalcogenide glass is more affordable but lacks durability. While not suitable for every optical element, pure-grade silicon with the proper coatings performs exceptionally well as a Protective Window. MidOpt
® SiLWIR
™ Protective Windows safeguard thermal imaging systems without compromising optical performance or system reliability.
