Exploring the Benefits of Optical Domes

July 19, 2024

Optical domes are integral to many optical systems, providing critical protection for sensitive components in challenging conditions. Imagine needing to capture high-resolution images of deep-sea life. An underwater camera equipped with an optical dome can endure the immense pressures found in the ocean’s depths.

In another scenario, fast-moving setups exposed to elements like wind, dust, and snow require an optical dome to maintain a clear, scratch-free surface, ensuring optimal visibility.

Types of Optical Domes

Custom optical domes serve a wide range of purposes, including aerospace, defense, underwater imaging, and remote sensing. They are utilized in devices such as the Mars Rover, solar radiation sensors, and submarine portals, providing protection against water, wind, radiation, debris, and noxious gases.
