Overview of infrared
Overview of Infrared Infrared (IR) is the name given to the light spectrum incorporating wavelengths that are longer than the visible spectrum. Ultra-Violet (UV) is the name for wavelengths that are shorted than the visible spectrum. IR and UV light are both invisible to the naked eye. See Figure 1.
iDLC Coatings
Umicore was the first to pioneer a DLC performance coating on chalcogenide glass. This is an extremely rugged and abrasion resistant anti-reflection coating, making it ideal for external surface applications where extreme environmental conditions will be encountered. Umicore can successfully apply iDLC coatings to its range of proprietary...
