In an upcoming webinar hosted by MKS Ophir IR Optics,Peter Kunert will delve into the benefits of SWIR lenses adn their crucial role in imaging across air,land,and sea.
This live session is scheduled for Thursday, September 12, 2024, at 1 PM UTC (9 AM EDT) and will highlight how thes lenses provide exceptional visibility in adverse conditions, including haze, smoke, and fog.
Integrating SWIR and NIR technologies into electro-optical (EO) systems considerably boosts image quality and operational performance. SWIR lenses are notably effective for long-distance daytime surveillance, offering superior glass transmission and accurate laser spot detection, making them ideal for defense and national security uses.
During the presentation, Kunert will illustrate how SWIR technology can revolutionize an EO system and enhance operational capabilities.This webinar will be particularly beneficial for:
- Researchers, engineers, and developers engaged with SWIR and NIR lens technologies.
- Individuals looking to acquire optical instruments and tools, as well as IR camera integrators.
- Professionals involved in imaging under challenging conditions or working with electro-optical systems.
- Users of cameras, detectors, and imaging technologies in defense and aerospace sectors.
