See Product Details

Our Germanium PCX lenses are perfect for Mid-Infrared applications. They stand up well to harsh environments and we offer the most popular sizes with Anti-Reflection Coatings. Germanium is subject to thermal runaway, meaning that the transmission decreases as temperature increases. As such, they should be used at temperatures below 100°C. Germanium's high density (5.33 g/cm3) should be considered when designing for weight-sensitive systems. The Knoop Hardness of Germanium is 780, making it ideal for IR applications requiring rugged optics. Additional coatings and custom sizes available for OEM volumes, contact our sales department for more information.
