Teledyne FLIR custom and off-the-shelf long-wave infrared (LWIR) continuous zoom (CZ) optical assemblies and lenses are for integrators and operators who do not compromise on quality. All lens assemblies have near diffraction limited performance and include advanced features that ensure continuous focus through the zoom.

Formerly New England Optical Systems (NEOS) and now part of Teledyne FLIR, the world-class technical services team provides product support and can also develop new or customize existing lens assemblies for a camera, application, and mission. Designed to maximize infrared-camera performance, the LWIR CZ lens assemblies provide the competitive advantages required in the field and marketspace for a wide range of defense, security, and commercial applications.

12 Considerations for Thermal IR Camera Lens Selection

When developing a solution that requires a thermal imager, or infrared (IR) camera, engineers, procurement agents, and program managers must consider many factors. Application, waveband, minimum resolution, pixel size, protective housing, and ability to scale production are just a few. One element that will impact many of these decisions is the IR camera lens.

Reduce Development Time by Two Years

This paper reviews the traditional challenges of MWIR imaging platform design and illustrates how leveraging a single solution provider can reduce time to market, complexity, and affordability while also improving size, weight, and performance (SWaP).
