Figure A-12 shows the spectral transmission characteristics <strong>of</strong> several <strong>of</strong><br />

these materials, many <strong>of</strong> which transmit energy past 10 µm. These materials<br />

are <strong>of</strong>ten used as lenses and optical elements in low-temperature infrared<br />

sensors. Of course, as targets become hotter and the emitted energy shifts to<br />

the shorter wavelengths, glass and quartz windows pose less <strong>of</strong> a problem<br />

and are even used as elements and lenses in high-temperature sensing<br />

instruments.<br />
