DLC Film for Infrared Objective Lenses: An Innovative Approach

Oct. 16, 2025

Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) films for infrared objective lenses offer enhanced durability along with improved performance.

When an objective is to be used in harsh environments and better transmittance, less friction, and enhanced durability are crucial, the diamond-like properties of DLC IR films may be exactly what is needed. These thin films can be used over multiple infrared bands (1-3 µm, 3-5 µm, 8-14 µm) and have applications in temperature measurement, security, and military reconnaissance.  Learn More
