Domes & Infrared Optics

Surmet's domes and infrared (IR) optics are used in a wide range of high performance applications that require unwavering performance in some of the world's most extreme environments. Our ALON® and Spinel optical ceramics offer high transmission over the Visible-MWIR wavelength range, excellent refractive index homogeneity, and outstanding environmental durability. Surmet produces optical components with customized features such as embedded conductive grids, specialty coatings, sub-wavelength wavefront error, and tight dimensional tolerance. Surmet's optical components have been inserted in production military systems.

  Surmet is supplying ALON® Sensor Windows for helicopter and ground vehicle applications. In addition to high optical quality, components are impervious to scratching from sand storms and rotor wash, and have excellent durability against rock strikes.     Surmet is supplying ALON® Recce Windows in sizes up to 15 in. x 27 in. Resolution requirements are met through high optical quality and stringent refractive index homogeneity over large apertures.     Surmet is developing ALON® Tri-mode Seeker Domes with embedded conductive grids for JAGM missiles. This application imposes stringent dimensional tolerance requirements for concentricity and radial location of conductive grid.     Surmet is supplying ALON® Hyper Hemispherical Domes for protective infrared countermeasure systems. ALON® enables operation over the Vis-MWIR band. ALON® also provides excellent environmental durability. The hyperhemispherical shape provides a broad field of view.     Surmet is supplying spinel lenses for targeting pod systems. Surmet's spinel provides high strength and durability compared to competitors' LiF processed Spinel.
