Description
Germanium (Ge) Window – High-Precision Infrared Optical Component
Germanium windows are widely used in infrared imaging, thermal cameras, and spectroscopy systems due to their high refractive index, excellent transmission in the 2–14 μm band, and mechanical stability. Our Ge windows provide exceptional flatness, low absorption, and reliable performance in demanding environmental conditions.
