# [Utilizing Low-Coherence interferometry for Mid-IR precision optics manufacturing](https://www.lumetrics.com/blog/nano-composite-optical-ceramic-measurement-mid-infrared)

 Written by [Kristin Hart Daly](https://www.lumetrics.com/blog/author/kristin-hart-daly) | May 29, 2024

During the most recent SPIE Defense and Sensing Conference in National Harbor Maryland Lumetrics' metrology scientist, Paul Thomas, Ph.D discussed the benefits of using low-coherence interferometry to measure materials that are opaque at the Near IR and UV wavelength ranges. 

Paul’s presentation shared how non-contact low-coherence interferometry can be used to measure Mid infrared materials such as Ge and NCOC that are visible at 2.5µm or longer.
