Abstract:

Transmission tests were conducted to measure the effect of adhesives on the infrared spectrum. Of the adhesives tested, the data indicates that maximum transmission occurred at numerous distinct wavelengths within the 0.2 through 15.0 micrometer range. Analysis of the data indicates that adhesive joining of optical doublets can be accomplished without large transmission losses.
