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, for the newly introduced 5μm SXGA, as well as for 10μm SXGA, and 15μm VGA SWIR detectors.
The SWIR & NIR zoom lens employs a unique mechanical and optical design, resulting in an all-around smaller and lighter unit with only 860gr in weight, and 224mm in length, making it approximately 60% lighter than similar existing SWIR lenses.
The SWIR lens is also chromatically corrected to support a broader short-wave IR wavelength regime from 0.7-1.7μm and operates with minimal distortion.
The SWIR & NIR 25-250mm f/5.5 (NFOV) f/4.0 (WFOV) continuous zoom lens presents an unrivaled combination of SWaP capabilities, detection range exceeding 26km, rugged design, and a unique coating able to withstand harsh, humid, and salty environments.
All these features make this lens a game changer for advanced drones, coastal guard search and rescue, tactical UAV IR cameras, and micro / mini tactical payloads in the commercial, homeland security, and defense markets.
The specialized materials and coatings of the lens maximize transmission and chromatic performance, outpacing the rest of the industry’s baseline in SWIR offerings.
