IR Transmissivity
IR Transmissivity
(OP)
Is there a glass (or other material) that
has high IR transmissivity in the 2-5 micron
band, and can withstand temperatures of
1000 degrees F?

RE: IR Transmissivity
its under glass-high temperature. i know it has decent ir transmission because it transmits a lot of heat. and it has additives for the high temperature properties. hope this helps.
RE: IR Transmissivity
There are over a dozen materials that are good for the 2-15 micron band.
They are all crystal-grown.
Si,Ge,BrF, sapphire, just to name a few, each good for diff. applications
Si is the cheapest, but none are cheap.
I went to www.almazoptics.com and they have a lot of info there on the different materials- or do a search on altavista
with different mixtures of the following words:
Si, Silicon, Ge, optic/s, window, lens, IR, crystal, transmis*
RE: IR Transmissivity
Quartz is OK but silica is better.
