Why Should I Use a Lens Designed Specifically for SWIR Wavelengths?

Short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging optics are used for a vast array of applications including surveillance, semiconductor inspection, food and beverage inspection, and process quality control. These systems require specialized imaging optics, as lenses designed for visible use are not optimized for SWIR wavelengths and will suffer from chromatic aberrations and transmission losses. Edmund Optics® offers SWIR imaging lenses designed, coated, and tested at SWIR wavelengths, which are available at www.edmundoptics.com/3444.
