Proteus High Durability Infrared Anti-Reflection Coatings
Today's detector arrays demand high performance optics to image their capability. Exceed the current performance of high resolution, large format array Reconnaissance and Surveillance systems with the Artemis High Durability Infrared Anti-Reflection (PROTEUS) coating on your front lenses or windows.

Artemis Optical's PROTEUS coatings overcome the long standing issue of high durability with the consequential loss of transmission. PROTEUS coatings allow your camera system to see further, eliminate internal reflections and maximize resolution lengthen in-service and replacement time in Land, Sea and Air applications.

Qualified and tested to 90-days salt fog to MIL-STD-810F, para 509.4, when combined with the Artemis internal high efficiency anti-reflection coating, average transmission values exceed 99% with average reflection measurements less than 0.3%.

PROTEUS benefits:

- High transmission over specified waveband which increases the system's signal to noise ratio and improves system identification range.
- Designed to meet (durability spec. number) which extends systems life and operational performance.
- Non-radioactive which reduces export restrictions.
- Coatings already developed for a wide range of infrared substrate materials which reduces lead time and development costs.
