Key Takeaways A defense client required a 300 mm MgF₂ dome for airborne optical systems, demanding ≥80% transmission up to 5 µm. Major challenges included high raw material cost, fracture risk in machining, stringent bonding prep, and short lead time. Avantier optimized bonding design, introduced controlled roughness zones. These solutions cut fracture risk, boosted yield […]
Key Takeaways: The integrity of any optical system designed for space, defense, or high-energy applications hinges entirely on selecting the right durable optical materials. For engineers in telescope manufacturing and satellite payload design, the challenge is twofold: achieving dimensional stability using thermally stable substrates against extreme thermal cycling, and maintaining clarity via radiation-hardened coatings under […]
