Lenses are made
from RoHS compliant glasses
LightPath's aspheric lenses are ideal for laser collimation in a wide range of applications including laser tools, telecommunications, biomedical instrumentation and chemical detection
LightPath Technologies has just introduced seven new moulded aspheric lenses to its extensive range of high performance aspheric lenses. Three of the lenses are drop-in replacements for Kodak's discontinued A390, A397 and A375 lenses. The new lenses are manufactured from RoHS compliant glasses to help pre-existing optical designs to achieve compliance without a costly redesign.

Also announced are three exclusive large numerical aperture (NA), large beam diameter aspheric lenses.
These lenses are designed to collect the maximum amount of light from a divergent beam laser and provide a large diameter (up to 10mm) collimated beam.
Another new lens is designed specifically to collimate light from MWIR and LWIR lasers, such as quantum cascade lasers (QCL).

One-piece digital colour camera is capable of acquiring accurate, high-resolution colour images using the Foveon X3 TM Pro 14M CMOS colour image sensor
The lens is manufactured from LightPath's Black Diamond IR glass and has a high numerical aperture designed for maximum light collection from quantum cascade lasers.
Available from Pacer, LightPath's aspheric lenses are ideal for laser collimation in a wide range of applications including laser tools, telecommunications, biomedical instrumentation and chemical detection.
By using an aspheric lens, the collimated beam can be created by a single compact lens rather than conventional doublet or triplet lenses, thus reducing cost through reduced component count.
LightPath has also just introduced an f/1.3, 14.9mm focal length infra-red lens assembly for uncooled infra-red cameras, aimed at thermal imaging applications such as security, firefighting and driver vision enhancement.
