We offer custom optical domes. Precision optical machining or molding. The material can be optical glass, sapphire, fused silica or even optical plastic (blowing or injection).

Artifex Engineerings offers custom optical domes from glass, quartz and sapphire. These provide high resistance to temperature, shock and scratches. We offer low cost molded domes as well as high quality polished domes for distortion free vision applications. We look forward to your inquiry.

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.

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.

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.
