Chalcogenide Glass: Advancing Optical Innovation in Defense

By Rick Shagoury | April 22, 2024 | 0
A collection of red-tinted chalcogenide glass optics, including circular, square, and cylindrical components, sourced from SCHOTT North America. These infrared optical materials are used in advanced optical systems for defense, aerospace, and industrial applications. Chalcogenide glass provides superior infrared transmission and thermal stability, making it a valuable alternative to germanium for IR optics.

Discover the advantages of chalcogenide glasses in optical filters, and their wide range of applications for defense, thermal imaging, and more.
