LightIR MWIR f/3.6 Continuous Zoom Lenses
The LightIR thermal imaging zoom lenses are lightweight, compact, and high-performance, designed for a range of reduced SWaP applications, including UAVs, aircraft vision systems, drones, and more.
The outstanding optomechanical design of the LightIR product family ensures that these lenses are the smallest, lightest and most compact on the market today, while still achieving the highest levels of infrared thermal imaging performance.
Key Features
- High MTF performance
- Extremely compact configuration
- Optimized for stabilized payloads
- Suitable for a wide range of low-SWaP applications
- Maintains focus through the entire zoom range
- Compatible with major MWIR and LWIR detectors
- Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions
VGA 10μm Compatibility, Unmatched Performance
The lenses feature a compact design, significantly reducing both length and weight. This reduction extends to the overall size and weight of the optical system.
The LightIR folded-optic 16-180mm features a folded optics design, which significantly shrinks the integrated optical system. This design allows extended optical lengths, resulting in reduced sensitivity to tolerances in compact configurations.
Where Minimal Is Critical
The LightIR f/3.6 lenses are ideal for low-SWaP and small gimbal thermal imaging for drones and tactical UAVs in commercial, homeland security, and defense markets.
Superior Zoom Controller Features
These lenses are equipped with Ophir's state-of-the-art zoom controller that features:
- Continuous zoom with focus retention
- Automatic focus compensation throughout temperature and zoom ranges
- Close objects focus mode
- Focus blurring for NUC calculation
- Full manual / automatic control of zoom and focus positions
