WHITE PAPERS AND APPLICATION NOTES
PRODUCTS
The Ophir SWIR & NIR 25-250mm f/5.5 (NFOV) f/4.0 (WFOV) continuous zoom lens is a first-to-market low-Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) compact lens.
The CRYOLITE series compact SWIR lens is built for the 800-1800 nm spectral range, with robust mechanics and a locking iris screw for top optical performance in harsh environments.
The Wildcat 640 series is founded on a temperature-stabilized InGaAs detector that was developed in-house and features a resolution of 640 x 512 pixels.
Raptor offers both camera cores as well as fully integrated camera systems for surveillance, observation, recognition and reconnaissance applications through a suite of handheld monoculars and rail-mounted integrated systems.
Raptor has some unique Space Heritage, with cameras flying as optical payloads on several live LEO Cubesat missions for Earth Observation as well as ground based stations.
The APX-PSD-XVInG-3.1 is a high sensitivity, low noise, 2mm diameter active area EXTENDED VISIBLE (ExV) InGaAs position sensitive detector for applications at visible, NIR, and SWIR wavelengths range.
Schneider Optics' Charoite Lens is a compact 2/3" C-Mount SWIR lens, designed for the 800 - 1800 nm spectral range. With its robust mechanical design and locking screws for focus and iris, it maintains its high optical imaging performance even in harsh environment. A special SWIR coating and internal lacquering reduces stray light, resulting in a high contrast images.
The Ophir® Wide Beam Imager SWIR: WB-I SWIR is a compact, calibrated optical system for measuring the size and power distribution of large and divergent beams of VCSELs and LEDs in the SWIR range.
