High numerical aperture (NA) optical domes from G&H are produced using precision tooling. Our product line includes zinc selenide, zinc sulphide, or germanium materials.

CNC processing, combined with extensive metrology capabilities, deliver precision domes for aerospace and military applications.

Optical domes are essentially windows: two parallel surfaces, curved. The dome protects and isolates critical sensors and electronics from the environment with minimal disruption to the optical path.

Optical domes can be found on forward looking infrared systems, seeker head optical systems, in submersibles, and underwater camera systems. Airborne systems must be designed to withstand sand, intense temperature differentials, and other challenging environmental conditions. Diamond-like coatings can be used to improve performance in the field. Submersible optics must likewise be designed to withstand sea salt, spray, and more humid challenging conditions.

Avantier produces optical domes in various substrates that are compatible with visible, infrared, or ultraviolet light. We offer personalized domes ranging in diameter from 5 mm to more than 200 mm, and we can also accommodate custom sizes upon request.

Shalom EO offers optical domes from a variety of substrate materials: sapphire, BK7, hot-pressed MgF₂, hot-pressed ZnS, ZnSe and germanium for operations both in the UV and IR spectra ranges.

Our sapphire domes are ideal for operations both in the ultraviolet (UV) and MWIR (3-5 μm) band, hot-pressed MgF₂ domes are suitable for the MWIR band, hot-pressed ZnS domes have a wide high transmission range (0.4-12 μm), while ZnSe domes and germanium domes are good choices for the 3-μm to 12-μm wavelength range, i.e., in the MWIR and LWIR region.

Knight Optical offers a range of optical domes manufactured from BK7 or UV fused silica. We can also provide custom domes in a variety of different substrates including optical glass, sapphire, acrylic, filter glass, infrared materials, and more. Domes are Ideal optics for protecting systems from the environment due to their durability and shape. Coatings can also be applied.

ECOPTIK offers optical domes for applications in defense, weather tracking and optical imaging e.g. with underwater cameras. They are available for the visible region, the UV or for the infrared. Dimensions from 10 mm to 350 mm and thickness values between 1 mm and 10 mm are available. The domes can be equipped with reflecting or anti-reflection coatings.

Shanghai Optics manufactures optical domes in a wide variety of substrates, suitable for visible, IR or UV light. Our custom domes are available in sizes from 5 mm to over 200 mm diameter, with custom sizes on request.
