UV Fused silica domes for subsea shooting

Glass dome lens are hemispheric in shape making them easy to mount directly to any surface.The two optical surfaces are an equal thickness apart, creating a naturally strong shape that gets tougher under pressure. This makes dome lens ideal for underwater environments and in applications such as camera dome ports and submersible windows.

Schott N-BK7 optical domes lens or HK9 glass dome lens are used primarily in meteorology applications. BK7 offers excellent transmission from 300nm up to 2µm. BK7 is a relatively hard material, with excellent chemical durability. 
UV fused silica dome lens ( JGS1 dome lens ): For applications operating in the deeper UV range, we offer a range of UV fused silica glass dome lens. Fused silica dome lens are commonly used in underwater applications at extremely high pressures.

For infrared applications we can provide sapphire dome lens. Sapphire is an extremely hard material with transmission of over 80% in the 2-5µm wavelength range. As with fused silica dome lens, sapphire dome lens is able to withstand extreme pressures, making the sapphire dome lens perfect for underwater camera and missile fairing applications.  

Other application for our dome lens include meteorology applications, pyranometers, defence applications and as high pressure view ports in underwater cameras and submersibles.
