Resolve Optics offers an OEM design and manufacture service for organizations that are currently deploying, or plan to deploy, optical payloads into space who require radiation resistant fixed focus lenses optimized to their applications.
As market leader in radiation resistant lenses for space applications for the last decade – Resolve Optics has an unmatched range of standard fixed focus lens designs to draw upon. Adapting one of these existing designs enables Resolve Optics to quickly produce a radiation resistant lens optimized to suit almost any spaceborne application.
“All optical elements within our radiation resistant lens designs are made using cerium oxide doped glass or synthetic silica enabling them to withstand radiation doses of up to 100,000,000 rads without degradation of performance. The custom lens requests we receive varies hugely. For instance, a customer required a 16mm focal length radiation resistant lens which is not part of our standard range of fixed focus lenses. An additional requirement was that they needed the lens to fit within a small footprint so they could use it without any modifications in an existing camera housing. The resulting fixed focus, radiation resistant lens is enabling users of their radiation-hard inspection system to capture clear, high-definition color images, with minimum geometric distortion from 400 to 770 nm.” — Mark Pontin, Managing Director, Resolve Optics
