Take the guesswork out of your design process, and let the IQ Lab at Optikos Corporation measure your Infrared (IR) lenses over temperature.
Athermalizing a lens is a lengthy, iterative, and challenging process in lens design, requiring precise modeling and careful consideration of all possible environmental factors. This is especially true for IR lens design, where performance issues may only arise once a lens has been fully assembled and tested for the first time.
The optical engineering experts at the IQ Lab have developed a unique, state-of-the-art method for measuring all lenses, including infrared lenses, over temperature (-40°C – 100°C) without a vacuum chamber. Within one round of measurements, our technicians can characterize the precise amount of focal drift and image quality degradation due to temperature, with micron-level accuracy. Make informed design tweaks and sensor choices with the reliable data you receive from the IQ Lab.
