The similarities and differences between specifications and fabrication techniques for optical glass and for ir materials are discussed. A general familiarity with this subject as applied to the visible region is assumed. Of the many materials known to transmit ir radiation, a group of nine is selected for emphasis; reasons are given for this selection, and specific comments made on each material. Those suggested for general use are germanium, silicon, arsenic trisulfide, KRS-5, Irtran-2 and -4, and for restricted uses strontium titanate, Irtran-1, and indium antimonide.
讨论了光学玻璃和红外材料的规格与制造技术之间的异同。假定读者对适用于可见光区域的这一主题有大致的了解。在已知能传输红外辐射的众多材料中，选出九种重点介绍；给出了选择这些材料的原因，并对每种材料进行了具体说明。推荐一般用途的材料有锗、硅、三硫化二砷、KRS - 5、红外透过材料2和4，推荐有限用途的材料有钛酸锶、红外透过材料1和锑化铟。
