PLX All-Weather Lateral Transfer Hollow RetroreflectorsTM (LTHRAW) with hermetically sealed enclosures.

PLX provides ruggedized, vacuum compatible, hermetically sealed all-weather enclosures for applications that require environmental protection for optical surfaces—enabling our products to perform under the harshest environmental conditions without risking damage to the optics.

The PLX All-Weather Lateral Transfer Hollow RetroreflectorTM (LTHRAW) has an ingress protection rating of IP67, giving total protection from total dust ingress and immersion between 15 centimeters and 1 meter in depth.

The all-weather enclosure can be customized for the desired clear aperture, offset, accuracy requirements, and more.  In addition to sealed windows, optical filters, secondary field-replaceable windows, purging valves can also be incorporated. It is also available with a vacuum-compatible package.

These features greatly simplify field operations such as bore-sighting and validating electro-optical systems such as surveillance and targeting.
