People Also Ask
Q1: What is the difference between a silicon dome lens and a glass dome lens?
A silicon dome lens performs better in infrared wavelengths and offers greater durability, while glass domes are mainly used for visible light applications.
Q2: Can silicon dome lenses be used underwater or in outdoor environments?
Yes. Silicon domes are robust, waterproof, and maintain optical stability in outdoor and harsh conditions.
Q3: Is coating necessary for silicon dome lenses?
An anti-reflective (AR) coating improves transmission efficiency and reduces reflection, especially in IR imaging systems.
Q4: Can I customize the dome size or curvature?
Yes, we offer custom-made silicon domes to meet specific optical designs, diameters, and coating requirements.
