A long-wave infrared lens is a thermal imaging optical component operating in the long-wave infrared spectral band. Its core function is to achieve infrared thermal radiation imaging in the 8-14μm band through infrared optical materials adapted to the long-wave infrared band (such as germanium, chalcogenide glass, etc.) and special coating designs. It can form clear thermal images by detecting the infrared thermal radiation of objects in completely dark and harsh weather (rain, snow, fog) environments, featuring all-weather operation, anti-interference, and strong concealment. Long-wave infrared lenses need to be matched with long-wave infrared focal plane detectors.
Thermal imaging surveillance, automotive night vision, industrial temperature monitoring, fire rescue
Working wavelength 8-14μm, compatible with various long-wave infrared focal plane detectors; compared with imaging systems equipped with cooled long-wave infrared detectors, imaging systems equipped with uncooled long-wave infrared detectors have lower cost and occupy the mainstream market in civil security and vehicle night vision; commonly used optical materials include germanium, ZnSe, etc. The thermal stability (anti-thermal defocusing ability) of ZnSe is superior to germanium materials of the same specifications, adapting to stable imaging needs in different temperature environments.
