Non browning lenses for high-definition CMOS sensors

Date Announced: 30 Apr 2024

Resolve Optics offers a design and manufacture service for nuclear camera and sensor manufacturers requiring non-browning lenses optimized to their application.

With recent advances in technology – CMOS sensors are being developed capable of withstanding higher levels of radiation than was previously possible making them a viable option for a much larger range of nuclear application. In order to take advantage of the higher resolution colour images provided by a CMOS sensor, more and more nuclear camera manufactures are looking to use them as an alternative to traditional tubes. As a result – Resolve Optics has noted a growing demand for custom non-browning lenses optimised for the large variety of different formats that CMOS sensors are produced in.

Rob Watkinson, sales manager at Resolve Optics, said: “To fulfil this demand from different manufacturers of radiation tolerant, colour CMOS cameras we developed a 10x non-browning zoom lens design to provide better HD colour images for nuclear applications. To date we have produced versions of this non-browning lens optimized for ¼-inch, 1/3-inch and 2/3-inch CMOS sensor formats”.

He added ”Our HD zoom lens design uses non-browning glasses, specially selected to produce clear sharp images free of the strong yellow tint that has traditionally been a limiting issue when using non browning lenses on colour sensors. The glass used in these lenses can withstand long-term exposure to radiation up to an accumulative dose of one hundred million rad and temperatures up to 85°C without transmission loss.  All Resolve Optics non-browning lenses provide high image resolution and minimum geometric distortion from 400 to 750nm”.

For over 20 years, Resolve Optics has developed a customer centric approach to specialist lens design, development, and supply. The company prides itself on nearly three decades of quickly translating each customer need into an optimised optical design, running projects successfully, and manufacturing production quantities of lenses or optical products on time, to the specified quality and target price.
