PG&O® Provides Customized Optical Components for Shortwave Infrared Imaging (SWIR) Applications

SANTA ANA, Calif. - April 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Precision Glass & Optics (PG&O - www.pgo.com), global experts in optical manufacturing and precision thin film coatings, customizes optical solutions for shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging applications.  Specially enhanced thin film optical coatings from PG&O are designed to optimize shortwave infrared imagery.  Ideal for imaging through environmental conditions such as night time, fog, smoke, and water vapor, PG&O’s SWIR filters enhance performance to deliver higher quality images with greater detail than is possible without the use of optimized filters.  

PG&O designs SWIR optical components to obtain the very best optical quality and imaging performance in low-light, moonlight, and starlight conditions.  The company also provides high performance turnkey optical solutions for a variety of military, defense, avionics, industrial, and biomedical applications.  All coatings are manufactured to MIL specifications, including metal and dielectric mirrors, beamsplitters, filters, antireflection coatings, neutral density filters, transparent electro-conductive coatings, and other hard and dense optical coatings needed for high performance and durability.

Precision Glass & Optics will be showcasing the optimized SWIR optical components at SPIE Defense, Security & Sensing, Baltimore, MD, April 29 – May 2, 2013.  Please stop by PG&O’s booth # 2070 for a demonstration.
