Now the material has good transmission in the visible and infrared (0.4 to 14 microns). It is theoretically dense, chemically inert, non-hygroscopic and easy to machine.

Applications include:

  • Thermal imaging
  • External windows for military systems
  • IR windows
  • Uses where visible alignment is an advantage

Products:
