The Light of China ---- Manufacturing the biggest ball lens with infrared glass HWS6 Chalcogenide
Introduction
In the world where technology and art intertwine, each creation embodies the essence of wisdom and hard work. Today, VY Optoelectronics Co.,Ltd., a renowned Chinese manufacturer, proudly produced the largest Chalcogenide glass ball lenses, branded as HWS6. This is not just a bold leap over the boundaries of technology, but also a pursuit of the ultimate in manufacturing artistry.
Let's give a brief introduction to infrared glass HWS6 Chalcogenide, and embark on this journey filled with challenges and marvel.
The Secrets of HWS6 Chalcogenide glass
HWS6, a simple yet profoundly capable codename, stands out with its precise formulation.
Be regarded as the core material for the new generation of temperature adaptive infrared optical system, HWS Chalcogenide infrared glass allow excellent transmission in the short-, mid- and long-wave infrared range, which has excellent athermal performance. It can be widely used in night vision thermal systems , night vision sighting, night vision cruise, automobile night vision, security monitoring, and infrared optical systems.
The engineers of VY Optics can take advantage of the glasses’ low dispersion to create color-correcting optical systems without the need for thermal defocusing. Thermal imaging devices benefit from the remarkably clear and crisp images generated by our infrared chalcogenide glasses.
The property of infrared glass material HWS6 Chalcogenide:
1) Refractive Index N 10.6 = 2.7759;
At specific wavelengths, HWS6 can control light with high precision, opening new prospect for high-precision optical applications.
2) Abbe Number V10.6 = 146.77;
The high value ensures low chromatic dispersion, delivering purer images with intricate details.
3) Density (g/cm³) = 4.63;
Higher than ordinary glass, this ensures the stability and durability of the ball lens.
4) Thermal Expansion Coefficient (K-1) = 20.9×10^-6;
Low thermal expansion of HWS6 Chalcogenide ensures excellent dimensional stability with temperature changes, crucial for precision optical components.
5) Specific Heat (J/g•K) = 0.36;
This affects the material's thermal response rate, providing key data for thermal management.
6) Transition Temperature (°C) = 183;
This marks the phase change of the material, a vital reference for material processing and application.
7) Knoop Hardness (GPa) = 1.13;
The moderate hardness requires extreme precision and patience during manufacturing.
The Art of Manufacturing Challenges
Creating such a large HWS6 Chalcogenide glass lenses posed unprecedented challenges for VY Optics. Enlarging the size means the control over temperature, pressure, and cooling rates must reach perfection. Every step, from raw material purchasing to precision forming, demands micron-level accuracy. Any slight deviation can lead to a significant drop in material performance or damage of this HWS6 ball lens. This process tests the wisdom and patience of our engineers, challenging both material science and manufacturing technology.
