IRG 27

IRG 27 exhibits excellent transmission through the short and mid-wave IR (SWIR-MWIR). The germanium-free composition offers various advantages, including a near zero dn/dT starting at 1.5 μm that continues through the MWIR and into the LWIR.

IRG 27 displays low dispersion for SWIR and MWIR applications and can be used as a flint material in achromatic doublets for multi-band IR applications.

The glass can be processed by conventional grinding and polishing methods, as well single point diamond turning, and molding. Based on similar thermal and mechanical characteristics to IRG 26, IRG 27 will be processed in a similar manner.
