Sensors Unlimited, part of Goodrich Corporation, has introduced the SWIR SOLO 50, a high performance SWIR optimised 50mm lens for advanced imaging in the 0.7 to 1.7 micron spectral range. Ruggedly designed, it features a manual locking focus for steady performance with reliable operation and advanced optics that deliver greater than 90 per cent throughput from 0.9 to 1.7 microns. The 50mm focal length lens has a fixed aperture at f/1.4 that provides sharp imagery, with extremely low distortion.
The lens performs exceptionally well with Sensors Unlimited's high sensitivity, InGaAs-SWIR, KT and SD camera families. Designed for large focal plane arrays (up to 640 x 512 with a 25-micron pixel pitch), the camera optics are ideal for demanding, low light level imaging tasks. High performance imaging applications include 24-hour, day and night surveillance (with human recognition at 250m range), UAVs, imaging lasers, and driver vision enhancement.
