Introducing Ophir® LightIR16-180mm MWIR f/3.6 continuous zoom lens, the newest addition to the successful LightIR family of lightweight, long-range, motorized continuous zoom lenses. The LightIR 16-180mm f/3.6 is a compact, thermal imaging lens optimized for smaller size 10µm pitch VGA FPA detectors. It features a folded optics design that significantly reduces the length of the lens and, therefore, the overall size and weight of the optical system in which it is incorporated. The lens is 65% smaller than existing MWIR 10µm VGA lenses. This makes it ideal for the demanding requirements of reduced SWaP and small gimbal thermal imaging applications, including drones and tactical UAV IR cameras, and micro-/mini-tactical payloads in the commercial, homeland security, and defense industries. The LightIR 16-180mm f/3.6 folded zoom lens addresses the new market shift toward smaller size detectors, with its disruptive combination of size, weight, range capabilities, and cost, the new zoom lens is an enabler for advanced drone, UAV, and small gimbal thermal imaging applications. The folded optics design enables long optical lengths, which produce a reduced sensitivity to tolerances in compact configurations that incorporate fewer optical elements. The innovative design also enables near diffraction-limit performance in harsh environments and addresses such challenges as LOS stabilization and athermalization. At only 460gr, it is one of the lightest weight, continuous zoom lens on the market, maintaining sharp focus over the entire zoom range with mechanical/ electrical interface assures easy integration into camera systems.
