Amorphous Materials was founded in 1977 to
serve as a source of IR materials or (IR glass) to be used as
optical materials for night vision (FLIR) systems. The word
"amorphous" is used to indicate the non-crystalline nature of
the IR glass. AMTIR is the acronym for amorphous material
transmitting IR radiation.
Amorphous Materials,Inc. (AMI) has developed the technology and
built the facility capable of compounding and casting 10,000
lbs. of glass per year.
