A process for producing an optical element, which may be suitable for use in an infrared camera with sharp surface features and low emissivity surfaces, including the steps of casting the element in the desired shape in a zinc alloy, deburring the zinc alloy element with a thermal deburring operation, and coating the deburred zinc alloy element with an electrocoating operation.

Method of producing an optical element

An imaging system includes a housing, circuitry within the housing, and a connector coupled to the circuitry and extending from the housing for electrical and mechanical connection with a personal electronic device. The connector can be secured to the housing using a connector support that is resilient and flexible. The connector can be electrically coupled to a main printed circuit board assembly using a flexible circuit. The resilient connector support can be configured to allow movement of the connector relative to the housing. The flexible circuit is configured to maintain electrical connection to the main printed circuit board assembly when the connector moves relative to the housing. The imaging system can be a thermal imaging system and may include an infrared camera core.

Mechanically isolated external connector

A system and method for producing an optical aperture for an optical element of an infrared optical system includes placing the optical element in a printer and applying ink in an image of the optical aperture to a curved surface of the optical element.
