Novel commercial applications have become an important driver for the thermal imaging market. Infrared systems are being designed for public safety, process monitoring and control, fire fighting and automotive night vision
In industrial applications, high power lasers are used for slicing, cutting, welding and etching a great variety of materials.
Each application has its own requirements
in terms of performance and cost.
Umicore therefore offers germanium
for high end infrared imaging sensors, as well as chalcogenide
lenses for low cost applications.
Zinc selenide and zinc
sulfide complete our IR portfolio.
Umicore has enhanced its service level with offering of CO2 laser
optics and beam delivery systems, as well as an extensive range of
coatings.
