Product Family Description

  • Diffraction Limited Performance
  • Variety of Coating Options
  • Full Prescription Data Available
  • Due to material supply chain disruptions with germanium, there may be increased lead times and price changes on our germanium products. For more information, please contact our customer service team.

TECHSPEC® Germanium Infrared (IR) Aspheric Lenses provide diffraction-limited focusing performance over a broad spectral range in the Mid and Long Wave infrared regions. Ideal for monochromatic light sources, such as quantum cascade lasers, these lenses offer a high-performance alternative to standard plano-convex lenses. 
The lenses are available in a 12.5, 25, or 50mm diameter. TECHSPEC® Germanium Infrared (IR) Aspheric Lenses are available uncoated, or with BBAR coating options. 

Uncoated germanium has transmission of <50%, so custom anti-reflection (AR) coatings should be considered if specifying an uncoated lens. Each BBAR coated lens offers >95% transmission, making it ideal for integration into a variety of OEM applications. For custom design or coating options, please contact our Sales Department.
