Ophir Optronics, an MKS Company, provides advanced SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR zoom lenses that deliver exceptional long-range DRI capabilities, compact SWaP optimization, and compatibility with the latest small-pixel, large-format IR detectors. Read more >>
Products in the SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR spectral ranges coexist because each offers distinct advantages. SWIR is optimal for long-range daytime observation, while MWIR excels in long-range surveillance day and night.
Both MWIR and SWIR function well in adverse conditions, such as smoke, dust, heavy haze, and high humidity. LWIR, on the other hand, is the preferred spectral range for observing burning targets and against sun glints.
In the full case study, Ophir examines the challenges of designing and manufacturing high-performance IR zoom lenses for DRI applications.
The company reviews its solutions designed to meet these challenges, and provides an overview of long-range product options in SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR to illustrate the current state-of-the-art in IR technology.
The company goes on to cover the capabilities of its SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR zoom lenses, including:
- SWIR & NIR 25-250mm
- SupIR® (MWIR) 60-1200 mm f/4.0
- SupIR (LWIR) 40-300 mm f/1.5
