Infrared optics are used to collect, focus or collimate light in the near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MWIR) or long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectra.
MWIR Single FOV lenses covers a 3-5μm spectrum range and is typically a cooled system. Thus, it is less affected by humidity compare to the LWIR system for most target ranges, which is suitable for applications like coastal surveillance, vessel traffic surveillance, or harbor protection.
Since the primary goal is to obtain high-quality images rather than focusing on temperature measurements and mobility.
