Cutting Germanium Lenses with Diamond Wire Saw
Germanium (Ge) is a high-value material widely used in infrared (IR) optics, night vision systems, thermal imaging, and scientific instruments. While germanium’s excellent infrared transmission and mechanical properties make it ideal for lenses, its crystalline brittleness makes cutting and processing extremely challenging. This article explains how endless diamond wire saws enable precision cutting of germanium […]
