What is a Ge Infrared Window?

A Germanium infrared window is an optical component suitable for mid- to far-infrared applications (2 to 16 µm).

WIth its high IR transmission, high refractive index and excellent thermal stability, people often use it in infrared and laser systems.

The material of the Infrared window

Ge is a gray-white, iustrous metalloid element. It has excellent transmission in the mid-infrared range (2–16 µm).

Therefore. people often use it in infrared systems.

 

The advantages of Germanium IR Windows

  • Excellent infrared light transmission performance

Because of its features, Germanium has high transmittance in the mid-to-long infrared wavelength range (2 to 16 micrometers). It is suitable for infrared systems.

  • High refractive index and clear imaging

The refractive index of Ge is approximately 4.0, which enables better light focusing, enhancing image resolution and system accuracy. It makes the image more clear than before.

  • Strong light-blocking capability

Germanium is completely opaque in the visible light range. Therefore, it is suitable for infrared systems that require shielding of internal structures or have visual camouflage functions.

  • Hard surface

The material itself has a high density and strong mechanical strength. The surface can be optionally coated with DLC hard film, which enhances the scratch resistance and wear resistance.

  • High processing flexibility

We can provide different shapes and coating configurations, suitable for various system designs.

The applications of the window

The GE infrared window can be used in various situations. Here are the applications of it:

  • IR Thermal Cameras
  • Night Vision Devices
  • Medical Thermal Scanners
  • IR Spectrometers
  • Laser System Protection Windows
  • Drones & Surveillance Systems

How to choose the Ge Infrared Window?

People should consider the following factors if you want to choose the window:

  • Wavelength range
  • Coating requirements
  • Operating temperature
  • Surface quality
  • Size and thickness

Chenyu adopts the most advanced manufacturing techniques and selects high-quality materials to ensure that your product is superior to those of other brands.
