Mid wave Infrared -L & M Band
Mid wave Infrared
3 - 5µm Is most commonly used for Military applications, such as jet engine tracking. Our Labs are known for extreme high laser damage threshold coatings in the MIDIR that withstand LIDT> 10GW/cm² 10ns pw .

Mid wave Infrared -L & M Band
Infrared Astronomy L&M Band
Thankfully, there are many more applications in the Mid Wave IR that are not associated with war . The L and M band are of particular interest to the Astrophysicists as they penetrate dust extinction to allow the Astronomer to more clearly see celestial bodies and Nebula .
