Nobel Prize 2024

Whether you require one-off production of single infrared (IR) lens assembly for a specialized research project or a large quantity of fixed-focus IR lenses for industry use, you need to know you can count on your provider. When you work with Avantier, you know you are getting the best product possible, at the best possible price. Our engineers design for manufacturability and work hard to ensure you get an optimized product at an optimal price and within an optimal time frame. That’s because we’ve done it, again and again.

Infrared light is classified as light between the wavelengths of 1 mm to about 700 nm. Infrared IR radiation can be further divided into several categories:

Our experienced engineers and consultants can help you determine the best substrate and antireflective or reflective coating best fits your application. Every situation is unique, and we can help you find a cost effective solution that meets your need. Whether you need special resistance to mechanical and thermal shock, or good performance in rugged environments, we can select the perfect substrate for you.  We can also help design your IR lens or optical lens assembly. From basic lens selection (singlet, aspherical lens, spheric lens, cylindrical lens, custom shape lens) to design of aspheric lenses arranged in a complex opto-mechanical device, or any other infrared optical assembly, we have you covered. Give us a call today to chat about how we can help you or to request a catalogue of in-stock lenses.

An IR lens is an optical lens designed to collimate, focus, or collect infrared light. At Avantier Inc., we produce high performance IR Optics such as IR lenses for use with near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MIR), and long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectra. These Infrared lenses can be customized for specific areas of the infrared spectrum, and are suitable for applications in defense, life science, medical, research, security, surveillance and other industries.

IoT is realized by 5G network technology. By using Cyber Physical System and Edge Computing, smart and safety society can be realized. This project is conducted by joint research with US, Japanese academia and industries. Especially, Autonomous Driving Vehicles controlled by edge computer creates advanced ITS system. In addition, smart grid and IoT data trading platform is our research target. Especially, from data access network, filter and pre-processing at edge computer and center cloud with AI functions are very important. And, data or contents trade market place is another new issue.

The substrate chosen for a lens will depend partly on which IR region it is designed for. For instance, Calcium Fluoride  (CaF2) lenses are a good choice for radiation between 80 nm – 8 μm and so would be ideal for NIR SWIR wavelengths. Zinc Selenide has optimal transmission from 8 – 12μm, although it offers partial transmission over 0.45 μm to 21.5 μm  and  Zinc Sulfide (good transmission in 8-12µm,  or partial transmission from 0.35 to 14µm).
