Ibikoresho by'ikirahure cya Chalcogenide cyakozwe mu buryo bwa infrared

Indorerwamo za infrared zikoreshwa mu gusya, gusya cyangwa guhindurwa diyama kugira ngo zikore ubuso bwazo, mu yandi magambo: binyuze mu "gukora ibintu bikonje". Nubwo indorerwamo za infrared zishobora no gukorwa binyuze mu "gukora ibintu bishyushye", hano dufite indorerwamo za infrared zikozwe mu kirahuri cya chalcogenide. Gutunganya indorerwamo by'infrared bibereye cyane mu gukora ibintu byinshi kuko ikiguzi cyo gukora kuri buri ndorerwamo gishobora kugenzurwa ku rwego rwo hasi cyane. Indorerwamo za infrared nazo zifite imiterere myiza mu gukora ibintu byinshi, ibi bikaba byemeza ko sisitemu za infrared zikora neza.
Ikirahure cya Chalcogenide si kimwe mu bintu bitagira ishusho y’ikirahure, ariko ni uruhererekane rw’ibikoresho bisa n’ibidahinduka byoherezwa mu mugozi wa infrared. Dushobora guhitamo gusa ibikoresho by’ikirahure bya chalcogendie mu ibumba rya infrared lens bitewe n’uko bifite aho bishongesha hato ugereranije n’ibindi bikoresho bya infrared.
Ikirahure cya Chalcogenide gifite igipimo cyiza cyo kohereza (> 60%) kiri hagati ya mikoroni 2-12, igipimo gito cyo guhindukira (2.4-2.8@11micron), impinduka nke z'ubushyuhe mu gipimo cyo guhindukira no gukwirakwira hasi. Gifite imiterere isa na germanium, ituma kiberanye neza no gukoreshwa muri infrared, cyane cyane mu gukosora amabara hakoreshejwe lenzi ya germanium muri sisitemu y'urumuri.
Bitandukanye na germanium ikeneye gucukurwa kandi ikaba ifite ubushobozi buke bwo kuyicukura, ibikoresho by'ikirahure bya chalcogenide ni ibya sintetike. Ibiciro byabyo birahamye kandi byemewe. Ikirahure gikozwe mu kirahure cya chalcogenide gishobora gusimbura lens ya germanium ku buryo cyagira uruhare runini muri sisitemu nshya za infrared.

Infrared ya Wavelength ishobora gutanga lens ya chalcogenide ikoze mu ibara rya infrared ifite ubuso butagira imiterere kandi butanga imiterere ihindagurika. Lens ya Chalcogenide ikundwa cyane n'amasistemu akora muri 3-5 micron cyangwa 8-12 micron infrared band, ifite ubushobozi bwo kohereza amakuru arenga 97.5% hamwe n'imyambaro irwanya imiterere igaragara (AR coating). Irangi rya karuboni rimeze nka diyama (DLC coating) cyangwa irangi riramba cyane (HD coating) naryo rishobora gushyirwa kuri lens ya chalcogenide ikoze mu ibara rya infrared kugira ngo rikomeze gukurura no gukomeretsa.
