Hemisphere Dome

Description

This product is a precision-engineered hemispherical protective window made from optical-grade materials. It is not a standard glass dome, but a high-precision optical component designed specifically for imaging systems, sensors, and other optical applications that require strict control of transmission, distortion, and surface accuracy.

Material Options

The dome is manufactured using a range of optical-grade substrates to meet different wavelength and environmental requirements, including:

K9 (CDGM), N-BK7, N-BK10, Corning 7980, JGS1, Borofloat 33, Sapphire, Silicon (Si), MgF₂, ZnSe, ZnS, and other equivalent optical materials.

These materials are selected for their excellent optical transmission, low absorption, minimal scattering, stable refractive index, and controlled dispersion characteristics.

Structural Characteristics

• Geometry: Precision hemispherical design

• Manufacturing accuracy: Extremely tight control on center alignment and radius of curvature

• Application focus: Optical systems requiring uniform light transmission and minimal optical distortion

The hemispherical structure is optimized to provide stable optical performance across wide-angle viewing systems and protective sensor housings.

Surface Quality

The surface is polished to optical-grade standards to ensure high imaging performance and reduced optical interference.

• Surface quality options: 60/40, 40/20, 20/10, 10/5

• Surface fringe accuracy: 10(5) to 3(0.5)

High-grade polishing helps minimize scattering, aberrations, and signal loss in precision optical systems.

Coating Options

An anti-reflection (AR) coating is typically applied to the concave surface to improve optical transmission efficiency.

• Enhanced transmittance for specific wavelength ranges (e.g., visible light or IR bands)

• Reduced surface reflection losses

• Custom coating solutions available based on application requirements

Dimensional Specifications

• Diameter range: 6 mm – 350 mm

• Thickness range: 0.5 mm – 30 mm

• Thickness tolerance:

• Standard: ±0.1 mm

• High precision: up to ±0.02 mm

Manufacturing Capability
