Infrared (IR) lenses are widely used in applications that require sensing heat or infrared light, such as thermal imaging. They are also crucial for night vision in military and surveillance monitoring, medical diagnostics and various industrial uses including quality control and laser-based systems. However, when faced with a challenging application such as when your lens may be exposed to vibration/shock, airborne particulates or large temperature swings, it is often necessary to turn to a custom solution. To develop IR lenses for these more challenging applications you are faced with choices.
