Surmet Engineering Better Material Solutions

Domes & IR Optics

Surmet’s domes and IR optics are used in a wide range of high performance applications that require unwavering performance in some of the world’s most extreme environments. Our ALON® and Spinel optical ceramics offer high transmission over the Visible-MWIR wavelength range, excellent refractive index homogeneity, and outstanding environmental durability. Surmet produces optical components with customized features such as embedded conductive grids, specialty coatings, sub-wavelength wavefront error, and tight dimensional tolerance. Surmet’s optical components have been inserted in production military systems.

		Surmet is supplying ALON® Sensor Windows for helicopter as well as ground vehicle applications. In addition to high optical quality, components are impervious to scratching from sand storms and rotor wash, and have excellent durability against rock strikes.
		Surmet is supplying ALON® Recce Windows in sizes up to 15 in. x 27 in. Resolution requirements are met through high optical quality and stringent refractive index homogeneity over large apertures.
		Surmet is developing ALON® Tri-mode Seeker Domes with embedded conductive grid for JAGM missile. Component specifies stringent dimensional tolerance requirement for concentricity and radial location of conductive grid.
		Surmet is supplying ALON® Hyper Hemispherical Domes for protective infrared countermeasures systems. ALON enables operation over Vis-MWIR band. ALON also provides excellent environmental durability. The hyper hemispherical shape provides a broad field of view.
		Surmet is supplying Spinel Lens for targeting pod systems. Surmet’s Spinel provides high strength and durability compared to competitors’ LiF processed Spinel.
