Fixed Focal Length Imaging Lenses handle SWIR wavelengths.April 20, 2012 -
Manufactured from optical elements designed, coated, and tested for SWIR wavelengths from 0.9-1.7 µm, TECHSPEC SWIR Fixed Focal Length Imaging Lenses come in 25 and 50 mm focal lengths. Latter is offered with C-Mount, F-Mount, and M42 x 1.0 mm options in order to work on various SWIR cameras. Broadband anti-reflection coating from 800 nm to 1.8 µm optimizes transmission, and lenses are designed to cover 25 mm sensors and offer f/#s values for optimal throughput and performance.

TECHSPEC SWIR Fixed Focal Length Imaging Lenses Designed for 0.9µm to 1.7µm Wavelength Range
Barrington, N.J.-Edmund Optics (EO), the premier provider of optical components, introduces TECHSPEC SWIR Fixed Focal Length Imaging Lenses. These commercially available lenses are designed, coated and tested for SWIR wavelengths. While other SWIR lenses are merely coated, EO manufactures their SWIR lenses from optical elements that are specifically designed and dedicated for SWIR wavelengths.
"It is essential to select components that are designed, optimized and coated for the SWIR wavelength range to ensure the highest resolution," said Nicholas James, Product Manager, Edmund Optics. James added, "Using lenses designed for the visible spectrum results in images that are defocused and contain high amounts of chromatic aberration."
Low f# for high throughput
TECHSPEC SWIR Fixed Focal Length Imaging Lenses, designed for short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths of 0.9 to 1.7µm, are now available in a 50mm focal length in addition to our 25mm focal length option. Our 50mm is offered with C-Mount, F-Mount and M42 x 1.0mm options in order to work on a wide selection of SWIR cameras. They feature a Broadband Anti-reflection (BBAR) coating from 800 nm to 1.8µm to optimize transmission. SWIR Fixed Focal Length Imaging Lenses have low f/#s for high throughput and excellent performance.
Designed to cover 25 mm sensors
SWIR FFL lenses are commercial off-the-shelf lenses (COTS), designed to cover large 25 mm sensors. The lenses serve as an ideal solution for SWIR imaging applications, including inspection, sorting and quality control. EO Lens assemblies use glasses that allow the design to be optimized for the SWIR spectrum.
Stop by the Edmund Optics booth #1206 at the SPIE Defense, Security and Sensing Show or booth #510 at The Vision Show to see the full array of Edmund Optics TECHSPEC SWIR lenses. SWIR lenses are in-stock and available for immediate delivery for fast turnaround and excellent value.
