The IRDK12.5 features a 318 mm aperture and an f/8 focal ratio, optimized for capturing infrared light. With only reflective fused silica mirrors and protected gold coatings averaging 94% reflectivity from 0.70 to 2.5 microns, this pure reflective optical system excels in infrared astronomy and LIDAR applications. The carbon fiber optical tube ensures durability with minimal thermal expansion, while integrated cooling fans and Delta-T ready system promote rapid thermal equilibrium. Advanced dew prevention technology with software-controlled heater pads combats condensation, a critical challenge for infrared observations.
