Infrared (IR) technology involves the use of light outside the visible spectrum (typically 0.7–14 μm) to detect heat and transmit information. Because it operates outside the visible spectrum, it allows devices to "see" in total darkness, measure temperature, or transmit data.
Infrared (IR) technology is used in thermal cameras, environmental monitoring, industrial inspection, medical diagnostics, automotive sensing, and government & security systems.
Umicore manufactures Long Wave Infra-Red (LWIR) lenses based on germanium and Chalcogenide Infra-Red Materials. We also produce infrared filters and infrared coating services. More information about our Infrared solutions can be found on this page.
GASIR® is Umicore’s proprietary chalcogenide glass specifically engineered for infrared (IR) applications.
It is designed to be transparent in the infrared spectrum from 0.8 µm to 16 µm, making it suitable for thermal imaging, infrared cameras, spectroscopy, surveillance, automotive night vision, and consumer IR devices.
Tessella™ is Umicore’s wafer‑level molding technology used to manufacture high‑performance infrared lenses in a cost‑effective, high‑volume format.
It allows hundreds of infrared (IR) lenses to be formed in one production run, enabling scalable, affordable thermal optics, especially for automotive, consumer, and surveillance markets.

Infrared coatings require specialized coatings primarily because the materials used (such as Germanium or Silicon) have naturally high refractive indices. Coatings improve transmission, reduce reflections, and protect surfaces against environmental conditions.
Umicore offers any coating from 1 µm to 20µm wavelength region. More information about our Infrared coatings can be found on this page.
Infrared optical filters are specialized optical components designed to selectively transmit or block specific wavelengths of the infrared spectrum. They act as "gatekeepers" for light, ensuring that a device only processes the exact energy it needs while filtering out the rest.
Infrared optical filters are critical in precision technology and everyday electronics. They are conmmonly used in thermal imaging, gas sensing, spectroscopy, and optical instruments that need wavelength selection.
Umicore produces various and high‑precision infrared filters used to detect gases, measure industrial processes, and monitor electrical equipment. These filters are designed for accuracy, reliability, and use in demanding environments such as oil & gas sites and electrical substations. More information about our Infrared optical filter can be found on this page.
