High-Pressure Viewports for Infrared Systems. Phase 2. Chalcogenide Glass

Abstract

An experimental study established the effectiveness of chalcogenide glass composition AMTIR-1 (Ge33As12Se55) as structural material and/or coating material or windows in IR systems operating in a marine environment. Test results show that the optical and structural properties of the material are not degraded by continuous or intermittent submersion in seawater. A tremendous potential reduction in expenditures would result from its application wherever feasible.
