More Info Email Supplier Request a Quote

Andover produces a non-radioactive dielectric multilayer coating designed to reduce the reflection of Germanium substrates in the infrared. With an AR Coating, reflection is reduced from 36% per surface to less than 1% per surface. Constructed of hard, durable first-surface dielectric optical coatings on optical-quality germanium substrates, these filters will withstand cleaning and handling associated with any high-quality optical component.

For your convenience and economy, we offer these filters in two standard sizes: 25 mm and 50 mm dia. However, we can produce custom sizes and shapes, as well as custom optical characteristics.
