April 21, 2009 - Suited for imaging in 0.7-1.7 micron spectral range, rugged 50 mm SWIR SOLO 50 has fixed aperture at f/1.4 that provides sharp imagery with low distortion. It works with high sensitivity, InGaAs-SWIR, KT and SD camera families, which are designed for large focal plane arrays up to 640 x 512 with 25-micron pixel pitch. Applications include 24-hour, day and night surveillance with human recognition at 250 m range, UAVs, imaging lasers, and driver vision enhancement.

Sensors Unlimited Announces High Performance, SWIR 50mm Lens


o New, 50mm focal length lens is optimized for high resolution, shortwave infrared cameras

PRINCETON, NJ, MARCH 31, 2009 - Sensors Unlimited, Inc., part of Goodrich Corporation, introduces the high performance SWIR Optimized 50mm Lens for advanced imaging in the 0.7 to 1.7 micron spectral range. Ruggedly designed, it features a manual locking focus for steady performance with reliable operation and advanced optics that deliver greater than 90 percent throughput from 0.9 to 1.7 microns. The new 50mm focal length lens has a fixed aperture at f/1.4 that provides sharp imagery, with extremely low distortion.

The SWIR SOLO 50 performs exceptionally well with Sensors Unlimited's high sensitivity, InGaAs-SWIR, KT and SD camera families. Designed for large focal plane arrays (up to 640 x 512 with a 25-micron pixel pitch), the camera optics are ideal for demanding, low-light-level imaging tasks. High performance imaging applications include 24-hour, day and night surveillance (with human recognition at 250-meter range), UAVs, imaging lasers, and driver vision enhancement. The new SWIR SOLO 50 lens will be demonstrated at SPIE Defense & Security Symposium (DSS) in Orlando, FL April 14 - 16, 2009 at Sensors Unlimited's Booth #3213.
