Precision Molded Infrared Aspheric Lenses

Product information "Precision Molded Infrared Aspheric Lenses"

Focal Length 0.91-5.95 mm; Numerical Aperture 0.56-0.86; Design Wavelength 4-9,5 µm; Outer Lens Diameter 3.000-8.000 mm; Working Distance 0.66-5.00 mm

GH Optics’ series of infrared lenses are aspheric optics, precision molded in IR glass, designed for use in the short-wave, mid-wave, and long-wave infrared (SWIR, MWIR, LWIR) bands. Typical applications are collimating or focusing (laser) beams, but also coupling quantum cascade lasers (QCL).

With their large numerical apertures, these precision molded infrared aspheric lenses provide optimum collection of light for infrared lasers (short wave (SWIR), mid wave (MWIR) and long wave (LWIR) types), as well as quantum cascade lasers (QCL).

Two types of chalcogenide glass are available:

  • GH6, made from As40Se60 material, is most popular and widely used. This material is comparable to infrared glass of other leading brands in the market, features high transmission, is Ge free and RoHS compliant and can be molded, grinded and polished.
  • GH2, made from Ge28Sb12Se60 material, is especially suitable for collimating lenses, gas testing and coupling of quantum cascade lasers (QCL). This material also is comparable to infrared glass of other leading brands in the market, featuring high transmission and RoHS compliance. Lenses made from this material can be molded, grinded and polished and are suitable for high-temperature applications.

Our series of molded infrared aspheric lenses can be coated with a range of AR (anti reflection) coatings, including two standard AR coatings (RA, RB) featuring average reflectance values of <1.0% or even <0.5% for wavelength ranges of 3 µm to 5 µm or 8 µm to 12 µm respectively. Other customized coatings like HD (High Density) or SWB (Short Wave Blocking) are available on request

B-Series CMOS Cameras
0.36-5 MP; Pixel Size 2.2x2.2-6.0x6.0 µm; Sensor Size 1/3”-1/2” Diagonal; Colour or B/W; 3-310 fps; Resolution 8-12 bit; USB 2.0; Buffered; Progressive Scan; Dynamic Range >55-70 dB; Board-level or Enclosed Mightex’s B-Series USB 2.0 CMOS cameras with frame buffers are optimized for machine-vision applications, and they can also be used for a wide variety of other applications such as digital microscopy and medical imaging, where quality, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness are crucial. B-Series cameras are available as colour or B/W versions, with resolutions from Wide VGA (WVGA, 752x480) up to 5 MP (2592x1944) and 8, 10 or 12 bit, and they can be ordered as “naked” board-level device or pre-mounted in an enclosure. Monochrome cameras often exhibit a 20% higher spatial resolution than their colour counterparts because no pixel interpolation is necessary. Without a Bayer colour filter on the sensor, monochrome cameras are also more sensitive than colour sensors, especially in near IR and UV regions. Mightex’s B-Series cameras feature built-in frame buffers, global shutter (Wide VGA versions), external trigger-in, strobe-out, and a powerful camera engine that supports multiple cameras. The frame rate can be as high as 60 fps in full resolution and up to 600 fps using ROI mode (depending on colour or B/W and sensor resolution). In addition, a user-friendly GUI based application software and an SDK are provided for custom software development. A DirectShow driver and a TWAIN driver are included (except for 5 MP B/W versions), and a USB command set protocol is provided for non-Windows based applications. A Linux driver is also either included (5 MP and Wide VGA B/W versions) or available upon request. Available models are: BCN-C050-U/BCN-C050-US: 5 MP, colour, lens mount C/CS, board-level BCE-C050-U/BCE-C050-US: 5 MP, colour, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BCN-B050-U/BTN-B050-U: 5 MP, B/W, 8/12 bit, lens mount C or CS, board-level BCE-B050-U/BTE-B050-U: 5 MP, B/W, 8/12 bit, lens mount C or CS, enclosed BCN-C030-U/BCN-C030-US: 3 MP, colour, lens mount C/CS, board-level BCE-C030-U/BCE-C030-US: 3 MP, colour, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BCN-B013-U/BCN-B013-US: 1.3 MP, B/W, 8 bit, lens mount C/CS, board-level BCE-B013-U/BCE-B013-US: 1.3 MP, B/W, 8 bit, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BTN-B013-U/BTN-B013-US: 1.3 MP, B/W, 10 bit, lens mount C/CS, board-level BTE-B013-U/BTE-B013-US: 1.3 MP, B/W, 10 bit, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BCN-CG04-U/BCN-CG04-US: WVGA, colour, lens mount C/CS, board-level BCE-CG04-U/BCE-CG04-US: WVGA, colour, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BCN-BG04-U/BCN-BG04-US: WVGA, B/W, 8 bit, lens mount C/CS, board-level BCE-BG04-U/BCE-BG04-US: WVGA, B/W, 8 bit, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BTN-BG04-U/BTN-BG04-US: WVGA, B/W, 10 bit, lens mount C/CS, board-level BTE-BG04-U/BTE-BG04-US: WVGA, B/W, 10 bit, lens mount C/CS, enclosed Note: Board-level cameras are designed for OEM applications, when a system-level enclosure is usually provided. In order to avoid electro-static discharge (ESD) related damages, workforce handling a board-level camera should be properly grounded. ESD related damages are considered as mishandling and are not covered by product warranty. For lab use, it is strongly recommended to choose an enclosed camera instead of a board-level one.
