Navitar Inc., a
manufacturer of precision optical and electro-optic systems, has
recently introduced their their new OptiStar Lenses designed and
optimized specifically to meet the latest advancements in
short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) technology.
The new rugged design
offers superior image quality, better transmission and performance from
the visible spectrum into the shortwave infrared region. OptiStar lenses
function in the wavelengths of 500 nm to 1700 nm, with 90% +/- 5%
transmission across the range. Superseding Navitar’s standard SWIR
lenses, OptiStar lenses have a lower F/# and enhanced design that will
depict better images in dark or night time environments. Both lenses are
available with manual or auto iris.
Our OptiStar lenses were designed
through a collaborative effort between Navitar and SWIR camera makers,
which allowed the company to create a multifaceted lens line that can be
incorporated into an array of cameras, suitable for a large number of
SWIR applications.

SWIR hyperspectral lenses are ideal for a variety of imaging
applications where SWIR cameras are employed such as perimeter
surveillance, toll-way monitoring, border and port security, quality
control or aerial imaging.
