IR Beam Expanders

IR Beam ExpandersSpecial Optics IR beam expanders have adjustable lens spacing and use Zinc Selenide lens elements that enable low insertion loss over a spectral range from 9.0 to 10.6 microns. We offer both an IR beam expanders and IR Variable beam expander.

Custom orders are welcome for other specific lens needs. To receive a custom Beam Expander lens quote email or call us at 973-366-7289 and speak to one of our Optical Design specialist. Or complete our line Custom Lens Quote Request Form and we'll contact you with a quote.
