Applications of Precision Optical Domes

The optical dome is a hemispherical window most made of optical glass. As a manufacturer of optical domes, RZ Optics Co., Ltd. specializes in high-precision custom optical domes. Domestic and foreign customers often purchase K9 domes, fused silica domes, sapphire domes and silicon domes from us.

In which fields are optical domes from our company commonly used?

Compared with optical windows, optical domes hardly changes the imaging effect. The shape of optical domes broadens the field of view. Optical domes are often used in underwater cameras and video cameras. The ordinary windows will not only affect the imaging effect but also deform the image. In addition, optical glass has corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time in the water. Besides, optical glass is wear-resistant and scratch-resistant. It is suitable for underwater environments with reefs. Underwater cameras and video cameras with optical domes are often mounted on underwater robots for underwater detection and ocean surveys.

In addition to the underwater environment, optical domes are also suitable for harsh outdoor environments. As a protective cover, they are often used in meteorological radiometers. Including solar radiation meter, ultraviolet radiation meter, spectroradiometer, anti-radiation sensor and so on. A radiometer with an optical dome is useful for meteorological observation, agricultural planting, solar energy applications, ocean surveys and so on.

In some military designs, optical domes are also used as a fairing to protect sensitive sensors.

The high-precision optical domes produced by RZ Optics Co., Ltd. has received recognition from international customers. We have kept a good cooperative relationship for a long time. We are glad to provide high-quality optical domes for your products!
