Shalom EO offers a wide range of infrared optics – not only singlet IR optical lenses, IR optical windows and IR domes, but also lens modules designed for MWIR (3–5 μm) and LWIR (8–12 μm) thermal imaging cameras. A variety of specific infrared optical materials are available: germanium, zinc selenide (ZnSe), zinc sulfide (ZnS), chalcogenide glass, silicon, sapphire and fluoride (CaF₂, BaF₂, MgF₂ and LiF). Our fabrication techniques include conventional polishing and diamond turning. Moreover, multiple types of modules with flat, spherical and aspherical optical surfaces are optional for different requirements. Referring to the thermal imaging lenses, Hangzhou Shalom EO offers standard lenses and hundreds of custom free-designed lens modules (e.g. athermalized lenses, fisheye lenses, single FOV, dual FOV, zoom lenses).

Further, our infrared windows can be used at 0.75 μm to 20 μm and our infrared lenses are suitable in a wide spectral range from 700 nm to 20000 nm. Infrared domes are suitable for 3 μm to 12 μm. AR coating options include broadband anti-reflection coatings (BBAR), long-pass anti-reflection coatings and hard diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating for application in harsh environments.

Your sidekick for laser optics development

OPTOMAN employs IBS technology to manufacture laser optics made for mid-IR. Broadband dispersive and low GDD mirrors for mid-IR range can reduce or even completely eliminate the need to use combinations of various bulk materials to compensate dispersion.

Cost-effective solutions for mid-IR optics are also available. By developing relatively thin coatings through advanced material research, we’ve reduced the primary cost driver — production time — while maintaining the core advantages of IBS coatings. This allows us to deliver high-quality, durable mirrors without sacrificing spectral performance or efficiency, making them an affordable choice for Mid-IR laser systems, even at power densities up to 100 GW/cm².

Custom mid-IR optics can be designed for spectral range 1 – 5 µm, using standard or CaF₂, MgF₂, YAG, sapphire or silicon substrates.
