UV lenses have a wavelength range of 200nm to 385nm and their apochromatic lens allows ultraviolet to visible light spectrum images to be formed. This lens can be used on ultraviolet cameras or image intensifier tubes for observation and also detect and remove efficiently obscure fingerprints on the surface of materials such as glasses, plastic, films, etc.
These lenses have features of chase light calibre, high accuracy and high resolution, which are widely used in many fields such as aircraft fog breaking blind drop, missile approaching warning, ship fog breaking pilot, forest fire alarm, power grid safety monitoring, maritime search and rescue, and close-range criminal investigation.
Ultraviolet (UV) Optics/Detectors: For Solar-Bind Imaging & Detections Application Note
When high-voltage equipment discharges electricity, corona discharge, arc flash, or arc discharge may occur depending on the electric field strength, during which electrons in the air continuously gain & release energy, emitting UV rays. UV imaging utilizes this principle to receive UV signals. UV optics are involved in solar-bind imaging. Solar radiation in the wavelength band of 190-285nm is completely absorbed by the ozone layer when passed through the atmosphere. The scattering of other components & the surface ozone in the atmosphere below the ozone layer also absorbs it, creating a natural “solar-blind” near the ground – where the naturally occurring solar signal is almost completely undetectable
