He ʻōnaehana optical, hoʻohana nui ʻia no ka ʻōnaehana kiʻi a me ka ʻike ʻana.Hoʻohana nui ʻia no ke kiʻi kiʻi hohonu i ke kiʻi.Hiki i nā mea aniani ke kū i ke kaomi wai kūpono a ʻaʻole e deform ma muli o ka mea acrylic.Eia kekahi, ʻo ka māmā māmā o ke aniani, nā ʻōhū a me nā ʻōpala o ka mea ponoʻī, a me ka maʻalahi a me ka paʻakikī o ka ʻili o ka mea ponoʻī e ʻoi aku ka hohonu o ka ʻimi ʻana i ke kai e koho i ka dome mea aniani.Hoʻohana pū ʻia no ka ʻike lewa, pyranometer.ʻO nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua ʻaneʻane like ʻole e pale i ke kukui mai ka hoʻohuli nui ʻana i ka wā e hele ai i loko o ka ʻāpana, no laila e hōʻoia ai ʻaʻole nalowale ka ikehu a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka pololei o ke ana.
He mau puka makani hemispheric nā Optical domes e hāʻawi i kahi palena pale ʻoiai e ʻae ana i kahi ākea o ka ʻike ma waena o ʻelua kaiapuni.Hana ʻia lākou i ʻelua mau ʻili like.Hana ʻo DG Optics i nā domes optical i nā ʻano substrate like ʻole, kūpono no ke kukui ʻike, IR, a i ʻole UV.Loaʻa kā mākou domes i nā nui mai 10 mm a ʻoi aku ma luna o 350 mm anawaena, me nā nui maʻamau i hiki ke noi.
He koho maikaʻi ʻo BK7 a i ʻole fused silica no kahi dome optical e hoʻohana ʻia i nā kūlana e pono ke hoʻouna ʻia i nā kukui ʻike wale ʻia;no ka laʻana, ma ka ʻike kamera a i ʻole no nā noi meteorology.Loaʻa iā BK7 ka lōʻihi o ke kemika, a hāʻawi i ka hoʻouna maikaʻi loa no ka 300nmto 2µm hawewe lōʻihi.
No ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā kukui UV, loaʻa ka silica fused UV-grade.Hiki i kā mākou pahu silica fused ke kū i ke kaomi kiʻekiʻe a kūpono no ka noi ma lalo o ka wai.Hāʻawi kēia aniani optical ma luna o 85 ka nui o ka lawe ʻana no nā lōʻihi hawewe a hiki i 185 nm.
