Our Optical Expertise
Our optical solutions from Alfa Chemistry, a well-known industry partner with a sizable client base, are frequently requested for a range of applications, including but not limited to:
Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy
To support monitoring utilizing a variety of infrared spectrums, Alfa Chemistry may offer single lenses and optically superior windows constructed from a number of IR materials. Frequently utilized materials include silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), fused silica (SiO2), calcium fluoride (CaF2), magnesium fluoride (MgF2), and sapphire (Al2O3).
Infrared Gas Band Filters
Our specially crafted gas band filters, which can be built of Si, Al2O3, or Ge, are intended to detect the presence of gases. They are all extremely durable and ideal for usage in challenging conditions. Interferometric bandpass filters can be used to find particular spectral peaks, such as:
| Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) | 3.55µm |
| Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) | 6.17µm |
| Nitric Oxide (NO) | 5.24µm |
| Carbon Dioxide (CO2) | 10.7µm |
Windows
To improve transmission and decrease absorption and reflection, optical windows can be employed. Different materials can be used to create windows depending on the intended application. You will receive advice from our experts to make sure the optical window you select is appropriate for your application.
Mirrors
In order to steer and reflect the beam, surface mirrors are employed. Depending on your particular application, we can select unique materials to handle extreme situations. Among the coatings we can provide are improved aluminum coatings and highly reflective dielectric mirror coatings, both of which can be used to improve performance even more.
