The optical components and assemblies maker has entered a sales partnership with an Israel-based optical components and optomechanics specialist.
FIGURE 1. Numerous materials suitable for use in IR optics include chalcogenide glasses, semiconductors, water-soluble crystals, and others; the chalcogenides are shown in blue.
Many optical materials exist for designing IR optics; chalcogenide BD6 has some advantages when compared with legacy materials.
Orders are for a variety of precision molded optics (visible light spectrum) and infrared optics.
Manufacturing to begin immediately, with the order to ship over 12 months.
The company has expanded its IR optics facility in Latvia and automotive electronics in China.
BD6 As40Se60 chalcogenide glass is available for use in many infrared applications.

FIGURE 1. These molded chalcogenide glass lenses by LightPath Technologies provide a cost-effective alternative to single-point diamond-turned germanium lenses; they also have the advantage of not turning optically opaque at temperatures above 65°C, as does germanium.
Glass molding produces precision components for lower cost at high quantities, and allows unusual shapes and functions.
LightPath Technologies signed a joint development agreement with OLE-Systems for optical fiber delivery technology.
LightPath Technologies was selected by Renishaw to supply two types of glass molded lenses.
