    Flanged optical domes are critical components in camera systems, offering superior optical clarity with near-zero wavefront error. These advanced domes address common optical issues and ensure reliable performance in various environments. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the factors to consider when selecting the ideal flanged optical dome for your application. 

    Key Benefits of Flanged Optical Domes

    • Exceptional Optical Performance: Flanged domes provide near-zero wavefront error, ensuring high clarity and precision.
    • Resolution of Common Optical Issues: High-quality flanged domes reduce distortion, speckle, haziness, and transmission loss.
    • Durability and Adaptability: Designed to withstand extreme pressures and environmental challenges, these domes enhance the resilience and longevity of camera systems.

     Addressing Common Optical Issues

    Optical Distortion

    • Overall Distortion: Often caused by poor design, varying wall thickness, and material inconsistencies, overall distortion significantly impacts camera system performance.
    • Localized Distortion & Speckle: Mold marks, bubbles, pits, and scratches result in localized optical issues.
