In the Press: New HD lens for Nuclear Monitoring.

Many thanks to the editorial team at Photonics Spectra for recently reporting on our new Model 419 fixed focus HD non-browning lens. They discuss how this affordable new 9mm focal length lens is perfect for radiation-hardened CMOS cameras used for close-up nuclear monitoring applications, including the integrity of hot cells, pipes, tanks, waste storage containers, and reactor cores.

Flight ready camera lens for satellite missions.

Recently a camera manufacturer approached us to develop a new 6mm focal length lens for use in satellite missions. The lens needed to be radiation resistant to enable prolonged use in space, athermalized to deliver consistent performance across a wide temperature range and ruggedised to withstand the rigors of launch. Due to the satellite camera manufacturers tight delivery requirements designing a new optimised lens from scratch was not an option.

Why include aspheric elements in your optical designs?

Driven by growing demand for more compact optical products with superior imaging performance - aspheric lenses are becoming an essential tool used by optical designers. A new technical note details the inherent benefits and shortfalls of aspheric lenses and describes a customer specified aspheric infrared lens we recently deigned and supplied for a military application.

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 are essential for nuclear monitoring, waste processing, medical and space applications, often enduring up to 100,000,000 rads and high temperatures without loss of performance.

FAQ: How does Resolve Optics ensure the quality of its custom optics?

A: We do this through a combination of continuous on-the-job training for our production staff and investment in advanced testing equipment. For instance, we use an automated MTF lens testing system to test the performance of all the lenses and optical systems we produce. This advanced system removes much of the variability of human involvement in testing resulting in faster, more accurate and repeatable testing as well as improved product quality.

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 across various industries, resolving recent supply chain problems, and outlining the standard procedures and tests used for quality assurance in our custom optics.

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 material selection and sorting, IR lenses for specialist high performance thermal imaging cameras and a novel UV zoom lens to safely monitor spent nuclear fuel through 10 metres of water.

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 discusses the importance of radiation resistant material selection, minimising mass, vacuum compatibility, working in zero gravity, thermal stability and structural robustness to withstand the launch into space.
