Choosing Optical Materials for Long Wave Infrared (8-12μm) Applications

Choosing Optical Materials for Long Wave Infrared (8-12μm) Applications Introduction Imaging in the long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectral region, also referred to as the thermal infrared, has many useful applications in the military, security, construction, and scientific fields.  Long-wave infrared imaging systems cover the 8-12 μm wavelength band, which is dominated by thermal emission from target […]
