Now Available from AMS Technologies: GH Optics’ LWIR Ge-free Optical Windows
We are pleased to announce that LWIR Ge-free Optical Windows from GH Optics are now available from us. This new product line offers a germanium-free solution for long-wave infrared (LWIR) applications, delivering exceptional performance, durability, and cost-efficiency for industrial and research environments.
Manufactured using GH Optics’ proprietary GHW chalcogenide glass, these optical windows are designed for the 8-12 μm spectral range and feature advanced AR coatings combined with DLC or HD protective layers. The result is a high-transmittance (>94%), thermally stable, and mechanically robust optical component that meets the rigorous demands of infrared imaging, sensing, and detection systems.
Key advantages for European customers include:
- Germanium-free design for reduced material costs and improved supply chain resilience
- High optical clarity in the LWIR band for enhanced system performance
- Durable coatings for long-term reliability in harsh environments
- Optimized for industrial, scientific, and defense applications
With this launch, we offer European researchers, engineers, and system integrators a sustainable and scalable alternative to traditional germanium-based components.
