Low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) continuous thermal imaging lenses are designed to be compact, lightweight, and energy-efficient, making them ideal for use in applications where these factors are critical. These lenses are commonly used in thermal imaging cameras and systems for various purposes, including security, surveillance, firefighting, and industrial inspections. The key features of low-SWaP continuous thermal imaging lenses include:
- Compact Size: These lenses are designed to be small in size, making them suitable for integration into portable and handheld thermal imaging devices.
- Lightweight: Low-SWaP lenses are lightweight, which is important for reducing the overall weight of the thermal imaging system, especially in handheld and wearable applications.
- Low Power Consumption: These lenses are energy-efficient, helping to extend the battery life of thermal imaging devices and reduce the need for frequent recharging or battery replacement.
- Continuous Zoom: Continuous zoom capability allows users to adjust the focal length of the lens smoothly, enabling them to zoom in or out on objects of interest without the need for discrete steps.
- High Image Quality: Despite their small size and lightweight design, low-SWaP lenses are capable of delivering high-quality thermal images with good resolution and clarity.
The low-SWaP continuous thermal imaging lenses are designed to offer a balance between performance and size, making them suitable for a wide range of applications where space, weight, and power are limited.
