Introduction to radiation resistant lenses

Introduction to radiation resistant lenses

Radiation resistant (or non-browning) lenses are specialized optical systems engineered to withstand high-level gamma or X-ray radiation, preventing discoloration and degradation of performance. Typically made with cerium-doped glass or synthetic silica, these lenses...
Custom Optics – Trends, Challenges and Quality Assurance

Custom Optics – Trends, Challenges and Quality Assurance

In this interview with Rob Watkinson, recently published in IEN Europe magazine, we discuss technological trends driving increased use of custom lenses in high performance image processing systems. We also share valuable perspectives on tackling lens design challenges...
Application optimised UV, IR and SWIR lenses.

Application optimised UV, IR and SWIR lenses.

Most of the Ultraviolet (UV), Infrared (IR), and Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) lenses we have created over the years are tailored for applications where standard, off-the-shelf lenses are inadequate. Great examples of this include SWIR waveband optimised lenses for...
Key design considerations for Space optics

Key design considerations for Space optics

Designing optics for satellites and space platforms is challenging due to the harsh conditions that components and optical systems must endure to work effectively in this remote environment. Our experienced design team has written an informative technical note that...
