Custom Lenses Enable SWIR Cameras To Achieve Full Potential

Resolve Optics Ltd has reported increased demand for custom Short Wave Infra-Red (SWIR) lenses from manufacturers of SWIR cameras and imaging systems.

Operating from 0.9 to 1.7 microns - SWIR cameras offer unique capabilities complementary to traditional Long Wave Infra-Red (LWIR) / Mid Wave Infra-Red (MWIR) and visible cameras. As a consequence SWIR cameras are now finding widespread use in inspection, low light / night vision, fire detection (through haze, smoke and fog) as well as military (target recognition, airborne reconnaissance, remote sensing, surveillance) applications.

Despite possessing advantages 'off the shelf' infrared lenses have their limitations. To fulfil the full potential of SWIR cameras and imaging systems the need for specialist lenses which meet the exact needs of customers has risen dramatically.
