Difficulties associated with UV and IR optics

Difficulties associated with UV and IR optics Introduction Design and fabrication using UV and IR optics requires consideration of optical materials, surface finish, mechanical and optical fabrication techniques, housing and mounting methods, alignment and test, and cost. These same considerations are addressed when designing and fabricating visible optics, but the magnitude of the problems differ […]

High Resolution Solar Blind UV Lens

High Resolution Solar Blind UV Lens Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which covers the electromagnetic spectrum from 400 to 10 nm, can be divided into four subdivisions: UVA (320–400 nm), UVB (280–320 nm), UVC (200–280 nm), and VUV (vacuum UV, 10–200 nm). The sun is the primary source of UV light, and UVC light it typically absorbed by the ozonosphere when it […]
