Increasing demand from the nuclear industry for radiation hard lenses optimised to operate with the latest generation of colour sensors, Resolve Optics reports. 

Resolve Optics announces focus corrected SWIR lenses that benefit from a novel design that maintains maximum performance throughout the Short Wavelength Infrared spectral range (900 – 1700nm) without the need for refocusing. Traditionally most lenses available for SWIR applications have been lenses designed for the visible but have AR coating for the 900 -1700nm region.

The latest Model 346 non-browning lens from Resolve Optics has been designed to operate with colour sensors in areas subject to radiation. Only in recent years have colour CMOS sensors been developed that can withstand the effects of radiation to any level that could be used in the inspection of radioactive sites.

Resolve Optics has announced that it will be exhibiting at VISION 2014 in Stuttgart, Germany. Visitors to Stand 1-I22 will be able to discuss with technical specialists how a custom lens design can enable them to benefit from the full performance of their camera, sensor or instrument.

In response to increasing demand for off-the-shelf optics optimised for Short Wavelength Infrared performance - Resolve Optics Ltd has designed two new fixed focus lenses (25mm and 50 mm) specifically for the 0.9 to 1.7 um SWIR waveband.
