About Us
Who We Are
Innovative Material Solutions
Since 1982, CVI Infrared Optics has been manufacturing advanced optical components for high performance optronics systems. We have become the leading experts in manufacturing and integration of large optics from visible, and near IR, to longwave IR, that can continuously perform in extreme weather climates and harsh conditions. We specialise in serving the surveillance & directed energy market, and support the semiconductor, and commercial markets. We have excellent customer service and dedicated engineering teams to collaborate and optimise your system for critical operations.
When you need robust optical components and assembly expertise for your mission critical application, we can provide world-class solutions.
What We Do
Strategic Innovation Partner
We specialise in the fabrication, coating, and assembly of large windows, domes, spherical / aspherical / diffractive lenses, filters, and beam splitters. Our proprietary fabrication and coating processes are specially designed for large optical components manufacturing.
With our state-of-the-art equipment, we can coat from visible to longwave IR and also specialise in optically compliant electrically conductive coatings for use in blocking unwanted frequencies.
Our windows operate with visible, near IR, and longwave IR—a critical solution for surveillance and security applications, producing superior image quality.
We know that surveillance cameras need a robust IR lens that provides high image quality, durability and versatility for different applications and environmental conditions.
Our coatings are robust and able to withstand harsh environmental conditions. We have an extensive metrology department for measuring spectrally complex optics, full surface interferometry and environmental testing for humidity, salt spray, temperature and windscreen wiper testing.

We Are Part of
Satellite Laser Communications &
Earth Observation
Our optical filters and assemblies provide wavelength selectivity to these systems addressing different functional needs from solar rejection windows to wavelength selective signal filters and beam splitting/combining dichroic filters.
Earth observation leverages advanced optics to capture high-resolution, multispectral data essential for monitoring ecosystems, studying climate, and mapping terrain. Precise optical systems enable accurate imaging that supports environmental management, scientific research and informed civic planning.
Semiconductor Markets
CVI Infrared Optics plays a strategic role in supporting semiconductor manufacturers through precision-coated optical components tailored for inspection, metrology and process control systems.
Our coated lenses, windows and filters are engineered to meet the demanding optical specifications required for high-resolution imaging, defect detection and photolithography alignment, all critical to modern semiconductor fabrication.
