Is anyone familiar with how to produce virtually transparent laticework of infrared conducting material on a 14" by 14" glass sheet for example? Are there clear infrared epoxies available?

What's your goal? Ordinary glasses block IR, so I don't see the point.
Maybe try this supplier of IR-transparent glass -- gotta be less $$$ than single crystal sapphire.

Specify your frequency of interest. Near or far infrared?. most LED's are near infrared and are potted in clear epoxy. Far infrared is thermal.

My goal is to have a dual plane grid of IR conductors spaced 1mm apart, that you can essentially see through. I want to scan both glass edges (x glass and y glass) and calculate via signal processing the cartesian coordinates of an infrared beam striking the glass. I don't have aproblem with the processer part of it just how to make the glass material with latticework of IR conductors at 800-900nm and small spacing to render conduction when a laser IR hits it.

Huh? 800-900 nm is barely outside of the visible range, therefore, jsut about ANYTHING transparent to visible will be transparent to your wavelength. So get a sheet of plexiglass or Lexan and cut openings in it.


Is this for school?
