本文件为红外材料数据表的说明提供了指南。它规定了这些数据表中报告的红外材料的名称和特性。这些数据表不一定包含本文件中确定的每个财产的信息。 本文件还规定了表征用于0.78？红外光谱范围的光学材料所需的参数μm至25μm，并提供了用于测量这些参数的各种方法。 本文件仅适用于无源光学元件制造中使用的材料。 在有源应用中使用的材料（例如光电子）的特性未被考虑在内。 本文件中规定的材料也可以在其他光谱域（微波、可见光或紫外线）中传输。

This document provides guidelines for the description of data sheets for infrared materials. It specifies the nomenclature and the properties of infrared materials which are reported on such data sheets. These data sheets do not necessarily contain information on every property identified in this document. This document also specifies the parameters needed to characterize optical materials intended for use in the infrared spectral range from 0,78 μm to 25 μm and provides various methods to be used for measuring these parameters. This document is applicable only to materials used in the manufacture of passive optical components. The properties of materials used in active applications (e.g. optoelectronics) are not taken into account. Materials specified in this document can also transmit in other spectral domains (microwaves, visible or ultraviolet).
