Clear Align in Eagleville, Pa., is introducing the INSPIRE line of lightweight, high-performance shortwave infrared (SWIR) lenses for short-wavelength infrared detection in applications such as unmanned vehicles, military night vision, search and rescue, and infrared tracking. This series of pre-engineered SWIR lenses have F-numbers as low as 1.0. The Modulation Transfer Function enables the SWIR lenses to provide high-resolution imaging across the 0.6- to 1.7-micron imaging band. The ruggedized mechanical design allows the lenses to withstand harsh environments, and is athermalized from -20 to 60 degrees Celsius. "Our customers asked us for a lightweight SWIR capability enabling higher-resolution operations at lower light levels for man-portable and UAV applications," says Michael Finlan, vice president of imaging at Clear Align.
