Germanium optics for infrared assemblies
Germanium is widely used for MWIR and LWIR optical systems because of its infrared transmission and machinability for precision lenses and windows. Junbang reviews each Ge lens project against wavelength range, lens geometry, centering, surface figure, surface quality, coating and inspection requirements.
Typical work includes plano-convex, plano-concave, meniscus, spherical and custom germanium lens geometries for OEM infrared modules.
