Outstanding infrared chalcogenide glass properties

SCHOTT's Chalcogenide Glasses allow excellent transmission in the short-, mid- and longwave infrared range, typically found in night vision thermal systems. Designers can take advantage of the glasses’ low dispersion to create color-correcting optical systems without the need for thermal defocusing. Thermal imaging devices benefit from the remarkably clear and crisp images generated by our infrared chalcogenide glasses.

The sheer strength and hardness of sapphire means it’s perfectly suited to protecting surveillance cameras, detectors and other optical equipment used in the security sector. In addition to its durability, anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings, sapphire easily handles demanding extreme environmental conditions.
