Ruselectronics holding has developed an optical infrared filter family for CCTV, thermal imaging cameras and targeting systems. The products are designed for video recording in insufficient visibility conditions – in the dusk, darkness, fog, smoke, sand or snow storm conditions. The filters can be easily mounted on any lens and allow images to be made in a wavelength range from 2 to 20 µm. The products are able to substitute foreign counterparts made by Sweden, US and UK manufacturers. 

Ametist-IK interference infrared filters are the individual development project of Giricond Research Institute included in Ruselectronics.

Thanks to the advanced vacuum-deposition techniques used to produce multilayer thin-film coatings, the required spectral characteristics have been achieved. The filters retain their performance within 15 years of operation in the temperature range from –60°C to 70°C and at 98% relative humidity.

“Continuously expanded functional spectral band of equipment requires new optical filters to be provided. Specifications of our products are in line with the best foreign counterparts made by Spectrogon, Andover, Edmund Optics and NOС. We expect that public and private companies focused on research and development of optoelectronic instrumentation will be among our key customers,” said Aleksandra Kryazheva, Deputy General Director of Giricond Research Institute.
