A Glimpse into MWIR Optics
MWIR Lenses extend an invitation to explore the world through a thermal lens, unveiling what remains hidden to the human eye and conventional visible-light imaging devices. Their unique ability to capture thermal radiation emitted by objects, rather than relying on external sources, underscores their uninvasive and nondestructive nature. This intrinsic characteristic renders MWIR lenses indispensable across a diverse spectrum of applications, heralding a new era of imaging possibilities.
While MWIR optics might not be tailored for precise temperature measurements, their exceptional imaging capabilities make them invaluable. From surveillance and industrial quality control to medical diagnostics, MWIR lenses offer high-resolution imagery that transcends visual limitations. Avantier’ MWIR lenses boast nearly diffraction-limited performance within their spectral range (3000 and 5000nm), making them versatile tools for applications ranging from Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to working in conjunction with tunable Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCL), as well as for thermal imaging.
Avantier: Forging MWIR Excellence
Avantier’s commitment to precision and excellence is manifested in their portfolio of MWIR lenses. With a focal length spectrum spanning 25 to 250, and field angles from 7 to 27.6 degrees, their in-stock MWIR lenses offer a range of options to cater to diverse requirements. While currently featuring manual focus, these lenses are equipped with a myriad of interfaces, including C-mount, M50x1, M60x1/Flangle, M36x1, and M32x1. These lenses, meticulously designed to complement a 640×512-15um detector, lay the foundation for unparalleled MWIR imaging experiences.
Customization Unleashed: Tailoring MWIR Components
Recognizing the nuanced demands of various applications, Avantier empowers customers with bespoke MWIR solutions. In instances where stock options fall short, expert engineers collaborate to design custom MWIR components meticulously calibrated to the application’s unique needs. Optics design, a symphony of substrate choices, coatings, and lens geometries, unfolds under the guidance of opto-mechanical engineers. The result is a harmonious marriage of form and function, aligning the MWIR lens with the application’s precise requirements.
The Choice of Substrate and Coatings
The selection of substrate and coatings is an artistry in itself, shaping the performance and durability of MWIR lenses. Avantier’s palette of substrate options includes silicon, germanium, Chalcogenide, zinc selenide, and zinc sulfide, each tailored to different spectral properties. Complementing these substrates, a diverse array of anti-reflective and durability coatings ensures optimal performance and longevity. The realm of customization extends to the production of high-quality zoom lenses, aspheric lenses, spherical lenses, and objective lenses, each meticulously tailored to the application’s demands.
Quality, Precision, and Performance
Avantier’ commitment to precision craftsmanship finds a resounding echo in their MWIR lenses. Each lens undergoes a rigorous quality control process, spanning surface quality, image distortion, aberrations, and astigmatism analysis. The pinnacle of this quality assurance is the state-of-the-art MTF Testing, a methodology that quantifies a comprehensive set of optical parameters with unparalleled accuracy. This meticulous testing guarantees that each MWIR lens performs consistently and predictably across a broad spectral range.
ISO Certification: A Testament to Excellence
Quality isn’t just a promise; it’s a commitment etched into the core of Avantier’s operations. As an ISO 9001-certified company, Avantier adheres to the highest standards of manufacturing, safety, and efficiency. Every MWIR lens is meticulously examined against ISO and Mil standards, offering customers the assurance of unwavering quality and performance.
