SWIR Lenses

SWIR-visible lenses can be used to capture images from both visible and shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths. These lenses will help your application to capture scenes or objects simultaneously in visible and SWIR light. This makes it possible to use information from different spectrum regions for projects like multispectral imaging.

Our SWIR Cameras and lenses are made to work together. This makes it easier when selecting for the requirements of your application as we have a variety of focal lengths available. When used in conjunction with our cameras, superior imaging quality is guaranteed.

What is SWIR?

Within the visible spectrum, wavelengths range from 400 nm to 780 nm. We call infrared light the wavelength range that falls between 780nm and 1000µm. Another term for the infrared wavelength range that falls between 900 and 2500 nm, close to visible light, is short-wave infrared light, or SWIR light. The shortwave infrared (SWIR) is a unique intermediate wavelength that differs from visible and thermal infrared light. The wavelength range of SWIR imaging sensors is typically between 900 and 1700 nm. The penetration depth of this spectral range in specific materials and atmospheric conditions is what defines it. For high-resolution imaging applications like silicon wafer inspection, SWIR imaging provides clear benefits.

SWIR Lenses

It is essential to use lenses that are optimized and compatible with the SWIR wavelength range when using a SWIR camera. A standard lens made for the visible spectrum may provide images with less resolution and poorer quality. The materials used in the construction of our lenses are chosen to maximize transmission at SWIR wavelengths and to perform well in the SWIR spectrum.

Our C-mount SWIR lenses are made to withstand the rigors and dependability required in industrial settings. They are designed to survive demanding industrial environments.

• The wavelength range for the SWIR lenses is 900 nm to 1700 nm.
• The wavelength range for the Visible+SWIR lenses is 400 nm to 1700 nm, covering both visible light and SWIR.

SWIR lens product life cycle management

The SWIR lens series is well-liked and will continue to be made for a considerable amount of time. Since our launch, we have added almost every lens model to our collection, and the majority of them are still in stock. Since we recognize how important planning is, we alert customers in advance when any SWIR lens is about to reach End-of-Life (EOL). To ensure that you can place a last-time buy order, a final notification is sent. Restarting production is always an option, even after EOL, with a 300 piece minimum order quantity (MOQ).

Quality control & warranty of SWIR lenses

SWIR lens quality assurance is a multi-step, painstaking process. Strict examinations of incoming materials set the whole process in motion. The production line is prepared with great care, including thorough cleaning of the equipment and inspections of worker safety gear.

This thorough method guarantees that every facet of production is recorded in thorough reports. Any SWIR lens that, at any time, fails to meet the defined standards of quality is marked as non-compliant. After that, corrective measures are implemented to guarantee the general production process as well as the quality of the particular batch. The quality of SWIR lenses is protected by this ongoing monitoring, which starts with the raw materials and ends with the final product that is shipped to you.
