Choosing Flanged Optical Domes for Camera Systems

Flanged optical domes are critical components in camera systems, offering superior optical clarity with near-zero wavefront error. These advanced domes address common optical issues and ensure reliable performance in various environments. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the factors to consider when selecting the ideal flanged optical dome for your application. 

Key Benefits of Flanged Optical Domes

• Exceptional Optical Performance: Flanged domes provide near-zero wavefront error, ensuring high clarity and precision.
• Resolution of Common Optical Issues: High-quality flanged domes reduce distortion, speckle, haziness, and transmission loss.
• Durability and Adaptability: Designed to withstand extreme pressures and environmental challenges, these domes enhance the resilience and longevity of camera systems.

 Addressing Common Optical Issues

Optical Distortion

• Overall Distortion: Often caused by poor design, varying wall thickness, and material inconsistencies, overall distortion significantly impacts camera system performance.
• Localized Distortion & Speckle: Mold marks, bubbles, pits, and scratches result in localized optical issues.
