Optical Domes: Design, Applications, and Custom Solutions

Sept. 3, 2024

Optical domes, also known as dome windows, are sophisticated optical components engineered for superior performance in imaging systems. These high-precision elements are vital for applications demanding clarity and durability, and their unique design allows them to excel in challenging environments.

Optical domes are specialized protection windows with a distinct dome shape, designed to enhance light transmission and optical performance. Unlike flat optical ports, domes feature a curved surface that minimizes distortion and maximizes the field of view. Made from resilient materials such as sapphire, fused silica, and BK7 glass, these components safeguard sensitive optical instruments while delivering exceptional clarity.
