Athermalized LWIR Lens Assembly f/1.1, 19 mm Focal Length
LightPath Technologies introduces an Athermalized f/1.1, 19 mm focal length IR lens Assembly for thermal imaging using 8 μm – 12 μm infrared signatures.

LightPath Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LPTH - News), is pleased to introduce an f/1.1, 19 mm focal length Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) lens assembly designed for uncooled infrared sensors. These lenses are designed as the primary optics for thermal imagers in a wide variety of applications including homeland security, firefighting, predictive maintenance and driver’s vision enhancement systems in automobiles. These expanding markets have a combined current estimated value of over $2.5 billion. These new lens assemblies integrate LightPath’s Black Diamond molded infrared lenses that are a lower cost substitute for high volume diamond-turned Germanium and Zinc Selenide optics. The unique material properties of Black Diamond glasses and a passive athermalized mechanical design provide temperature stability from -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius without adding additional cost. “LightPath Technologies is expanding its product line for Molded Infrared Optics with the introduction of this lens assembly. This new lens assembly takes advantage of LightPath’s recently developed capabilities in athermalized opto-mechanical design that adds customer value to LightPath’s products beyond our high quality lenses. This new product targets the rapidly expanding thermal imaging and night vision enhancement markets.” said Jim Gaynor, CEO and President of LightPath.
