Long Wave Infrared Imaging Assemblies
Our Thermal Imaging Lens Assemblies (TILA) utilize a variety of materials, including primarily our proprietary BD6 Chalcogenide Glass. Additionally, both standard and custom assemblies can be offered with standard AR, High Durability AR (HDAR), Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) and spectral filter coatings, all developed and produced in-house.
Wide Selection of Standard Assemblies
Explore the versatility of LightPath Technologies’ selection of standard lens assemblies for thermal imaging, designed to seamlessly integrate with detectors from a variety of manufacturers. Our lenses are compatible with pixel pitches ranging from 10µm to 30µm, ensuring optimal performance across a broad spectrum of applications. With a wide range of fields of view and different F-numbers (F#s), our thermal imaging lenses offer the flexibility and precision needed to meet the unique requirements of your projects. Trust LightPath’s innovative lens solutions to deliver exceptional image quality and reliability for all your thermal imaging needs.
Custom Assemblies
LightPath utilizes a process called compression molding to create precision molded aspheric optics. This process utilizes precision tooling and components in a controlled environment to produce high precision optics cost effectively and in very high volumes. In glass compression molding, a glass “preform” (typically a sphere) is heated to a softening point and compressed between two precision manufactured molds to shape the lens into its final form.
Materials
Lightpath Technologies stands at the forefront of innovative optical solutions with our advanced imaging assemblies, designed using a wide selection of high-quality materials to cater to diverse infrared applications. From crystalline materials like Germanium and Silicon, renowned for their precise imaging capabilities, to versatile infrared Chalcogenide glass, our products are crafted to meet the highest standards of clarity and performance. Particularly noteworthy is our proprietary BlackDiamond™ material, a groundbreaking development in infrared optics that offers superior durability and optical precision. This diverse material portfolio ensures that our imaging assemblies can be optimally tailored to meet the specific needs of any application, from security systems to sophisticated scientific instruments.
