Nippon Electric Glass FI-02 Glass Adopted for Heimann Sensor Wide-Angle Thermal Lens

Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. announced that its IR Transmitting Glass, a chalcogenide glass designated FI-02, has been adopted for Heimann Sensor GmbH's wide-angle lens unit for thermal cameras. The lens unit achieves a 120° × 68° field of view, surpassing the previous product's maximum of 92° × 59°. FI-02 combines high infrared transmittance with a high refractive index, making it highly suitable for wide-angle lens design, and it is also suitable for mass production through press molding. The glass additionally offers low dispersion and a unique composition free from hazardous substances such as arsenic and selenium. Nippon Electric Glass said the adoption marks a significant milestone for FI-02 and showcases how advanced specialty glass can meet the demanding optical and manufacturing requirements of the expanding infrared sensing market.
