Chalcogenide glasses have been steadily advancing infrared imaging capabilities and systems since the mid 1900s. Rochester Precision Optics has recently invested in bolstering their infrared glass manufacturing capabilities. While vertically integrating to reduce costs and to support the current and expanding demand for their precision glass molding, diamond turning, and assemblies that use the classic chalcogenide glasses; the optical design team has been able to capitalize on the new infrared materials further expanding the infrared optical glass map for S.W.A.P. enhancement in their designs.
The focus of this work is to highlight some of the capabilities and recent innovations in chalcogenide glass manufacturing leading to low cost methods of producing optical materials, elements, unique or previously difficult geometries.
