IRG 25

IRG 25 has excellent transmission in the SWIR, MWIR, & LWIR. Physical properties such as low dn/dT and low dispersion enable optical engineers to design color corrected optical systems without thermal defocusing.

Furthermore, IRG 25 can be processed by conventional grinding and polishing, single point diamond turning, or molding to support low to high volume component level fabrication.
