The Application if Infrared Lenses

Category: Company News

Release time: 2021-11-09

Infrared lenses mainly operate in the near-infrared (NIR), mid-wave infrared (MWIR), and long-wave infrared (LWIR, thermal imaging) bands. Their core functions are to converge infrared radiation, form clear images, and transmit laser beams. Their applications are highly concentrated in military, security, automotive, medical, industrial, aerospace, and other fields.

I. Security Monitoring & Thermal Imaging (Most Mainstream)

  • Lenses for infrared thermal imagers (forest fire prevention, power inspection, building security)
  • Night vision surveillance cameras, infrared early warning systems for border and coastal defense
  • Infrared lenses for human body temperature measurement (thermometers at airports, stations, hospitals)

II. Automotive & Autonomous Driving

  • Automotive infrared night vision lenses (recognition of pedestrians and animals at night)
  • Transceiver lenses for LiDAR
  • Infrared sensing systems for ADAS

III. Military & National Defense

  • Infrared sights, thermal imaging rifle scopes
  • Missile seekers, infrared homing optical systems
  • Airborne / shipborne infrared warning and reconnaissance pods
  • Infrared observation and sighting systems for tanks and armored vehicles

IV. Industrial Inspection & Machine Vision

  • Infrared non-destructive testing (defects in circuit boards, components, and castings)
  • Lenses for high-temperature monitoring and furnace temperature monitoring
  • Laser processing: collimating and focusing lenses for laser cutting, welding, and marking
  • Infrared spectrometers, gas detection analyzers

V. Aerospace & Remote Sensing

  • Infrared remote sensing cameras for satellites, infrared lenses for meteorological satellites
  • Space infrared detection, astronomical infrared telescope systems
  • Infrared reconnaissance and mapping payloads for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)

VI. Medical & Life Sciences

  • Medical infrared thermal imagers (examination of mammary glands, skin, and microcirculation)
  • Laser medical and aesthetic equipment (hair removal, skin rejuvenation, physical therapy)
  • Infrared endoscopes, fluorescence imaging systems

VII. Scientific Research & Laboratory Instruments

  • Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR)
  • Infrared lasers, Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPO)
  • Infrared interferometers, coupling systems for infrared detectors

VIII. Consumer Electronics & Others

  • Infrared remote controls, lenses for infrared proximity sensors
  • Infrared sensing and gesture recognition lenses for VR/AR
  • Infrared probes for gas leak detection and security alarms
