Applications

Infrared thermal imaging: security cameras, vehicle night vision, industrial thermometry and outdoor detection lenses. Medical: infrared thermal diagnosis, noninvasive detection and sensing paths. Lasers: mid-infrared focusing, collimation and beam delivery. Industry: high-temperature detection, spectroscopy and oil/gas exploration. Research: infrared microscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy and precision laboratory optics.

Key Features

Dedicated high mid-IR transmission: stable, extremely low absorption over 2000–14000nm (2–14μm) longwave IR. High-index precision focusing reduces lens count, simplifies optics and improves focusing/collimation. Thermal stability: softening temperature 936℃, expansion coefficient 6.1 and no significant high-temperature deformation. Ultraprecision fabrication: tolerance ±0.01mm, figure to λ/10, surface quality 60-40. Full structures: spherical/aspheric, plano-convex/biconvex/plano-concave/meniscus. Mid-IR AR, DLC and high-laser-damage-threshold coatings. IV. Material advantages. Broadband 2–14μm mid-IR transmission, preferred specifically for longwave IR. High index, extremely low scatter and high contrast simplify paths. Expansion coefficient 6.1, softening temperature 936℃, outstanding heat resistance/stability. Knoop hardness 780, moderate strength, impact/wear resistance and long life. Chemical stability suits complex industrial, outdoor and medical environments. V. Available structures: plano-convex, biconvex, plano-concave, biconcave, meniscus, collimating, focusing and aspheric lenses. VI. Coatings. Dedicated 3–5μm, 8–12μm and 2–12μm mid-IR AR greatly improves transmission. DLC improves hardness, contamination/scratch resistance and life. High-laser-damage-threshold layers improve strong-laser tolerance in high-power mid-IR. VIII. Yasi Optical advantages. Fully controlled in-house closed-loop cutting → milling/grinding → polishing → coating → inspection, with full traceability. Precision equipment: ZYGO interferometers, Nikon precision goniometers and optical dimensional instruments for comprehensive quality control. Batch 1–500mm large-aperture germanium lenses for high-end systems. One-stop dimensions, structures, focal lengths and coatings with optical-path support. High-reliability medical/industrial compatibility supports medical-infrared compliance. IX. Quality assurance. All germanium lenses undergo ZYGO interferometric figure, optical dimensional, infrared-transmission and surface-quality inspections to ensure 100% optical and dimensional compliance. Automated ultrasonic ultraclean washing and vacuum moisture-proof packaging ensure transport and long-term stability.
