Germanium Optical Window
The product shown is a circular, dark-gray metallic optical element, which is consistent with the appearance of a germanium (Ge) infrared optical window. Germanium windows are opaque in the visible band but offer excellent transmission in the mid-wave and long-wave infrared ranges, making them widely used as protective windows in thermal imaging cameras, infrared sensors, and IR spectroscopy systems. The product appears to be an unmounted round window with precision-polished surfaces, and it can typically be supplied with anti-reflection (AR) or diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings optimized for the 8-12μm thermal imaging band.
