Ophir Optics laser optics and infrared thermal imaging lenses
Direct supply of high-power CO2 and fiber laser optics, continuous zoom infrared lenses, and custom precision optical substrates by Ophir Optics (Ophir Optronics Solutions Ltd. / MKS Ophir).
ZnSe focusing lenses and Ophir CO2 laser optics
Ophir Optics CO2 laser optics portfolio for 10.6 µm includes zinc selenide ZnSe focusing lenses in Black Magic and Clear Magic series. Ultra-low absorption coatings below 0.15% prevent thermal focus shift at power levels up to 20 kW. Replacement lenses, MMR mirrors, and mounts are available.
- Zinc Selenide ZnSe
- Absorption <0.15%
- Power up to 20 kW
- CNC cutting heads
Protective windows and Ophir fiber laser optics
Ophir Fiber Laser Windows are manufactured from high-purity fused silica for 1.03-1.09 µm industrial cutting lasers. Dual-sided anti-reflective coatings reduce reflection to 0.2% under multi-kilowatt loads. Standard 30-50 mm windows, seals, and protective cartridges are available for order.
- Fused Silica quartz

Industrial applications of Ophir Optics laser optics and IR lenses
Ophir Optics components are engineered for demanding industrial laser material processing and advanced electro-optical thermal imaging assemblies.
The company supplies leading CNC laser cutting and welding machine builders, defense systems integrators, and semiconductor inspection equipment manufacturers worldwide.
Proprietary thin-film dielectric coatings deliver exceptional laser damage thresholds (LIDT) under multi-kilowatt exposure. Precision diamond-turned surfaces guarantee diffraction-limited performance and tight focal spot geometry.
Selection criteria for Ophir ZnSe CO2 laser focusing lenses
Selecting a CO2 laser focusing lens requires matching the spectral wavelength (9.4, 10.2, or 10.6 µm), focal length, clear aperture, and laser beam power. The Black Magic series features absorption below 0.15% to mitigate thermal lensing at power ratings exceeding 4 kW.
For laser workstations equipped with red 650-670 nm diode aiming beams, the Clear Magic dual-wavelength coating transmits both the pilot laser and the main 10.6 µm cutting beam without chromatic misalignment.
Performance specifications of 1-micron fiber laser protective windows
High-power fiber laser cutting heads operating from 6 kW to 30 kW demand protective windows with ultra-low bulk absorption. Ophir uses synthetic optical fused silica substrates free from micro-inclusions to eliminate localized heating.
Anti-reflective coatings optimized for 1030-1090 nm limit reflection to under 0.2% per surface, safeguarding sensitive internal collimator and focus lens doublets from back-reflections and process spatter.
Optical architecture of SupIR continuous zoom thermal lenses
Ophir SupIR continuous zoom lenses maintain crisp focus throughout the magnification range without refocusing between wide and narrow fields of view. The design incorporates precision aspheric and diffractive elements in germanium and chalcogenide substrates.
Optical-mechanical athermalization maintains focal plane stability across demanding ambient operating temperatures, meeting rigorous airborne and naval environmental specifications.
