Five Common Misconceptions About Uncooled LWIR Infrared Lenses 2026-10-08
This paper illustrates five common misunderstandings in selecting uncooled long-wave infrared lenses. It points out that single parameters such as F-number, germanium material, detector resolution, NUC correction and athermal marking cannot represent real lens performance. Engineers need combined datasheet review and physical sample testing for comprehensive evaluation to prevent improper lens selection and costly integration risks.
