Diablo Broadband Lens Assemblies
The Diablo Series™ is designed for the state-of-the-art SLS and MCT detectors and is optimized for the wavelength range from 3–12 µm.
Broadband Infrared Lens Systems
G&H are the industry leader in broadband infrared lens systems spanning multiple regions of the spectrum.
Broadband infrared lens systems are increasingly important in applications where a single imaging platform must support multiple wavebands, detector types or operational scenarios. Instead of designing around a narrow spectral range, broadband lens assemblies provide greater flexibility for camera manufacturers, system integrators and end users working with modern focal plane arrays and extended sensitivity detectors.
Supporting demanding market applications
G&H broadband lens systems are used across markets where infrared imaging performance, reliability and spectral flexibility are critical.
Aerospace and Defense
Broadband lenses support surveillance, reconnaissance, target acquisition, situational awareness, border security and long-range observation systems. Their ability to operate across wider wavebands makes them valuable for multi-role imaging platforms and advanced sensor payloads.
Industrial and Telecom
Infrared imaging is widely used for industrial inspection, thermal monitoring, process control, predictive maintenance, emissions monitoring and laser-based sensing. Broadband lens systems help support flexible imaging architectures where wavelength coverage and detector compatibility are key design considerations.
Scientific and Research Imaging
Research, laboratory and test environments often require adaptable optical systems that can support multiple detectors or spectral bands. Broadband lenses provide a practical solution for multispectral imaging, infrared test systems and experimental imaging platforms.
Security and Surveillance
From perimeter protection to maritime, airborne and ground-based monitoring, broadband infrared lenses help improve system versatility where imaging conditions, targets and environmental factors can vary significantly.
Designed for detector flexibility
Commercial infrared cameras and detectors are available with varying sensor formats, cold filter designs and waveband sensitivities. G&H broadband lens systems are designed to complement these requirements, supporting system developers who need reliable lens options for current and next-generation infrared detector technologies.
Whether the application requires VIS-SWIR to MWIR flexibility, extended MWIR performance, or MWIR-to-LWIR coverage, G&H offers broadband lens families designed to support a wide range of optical and operational requirements.
The SuperBand™ Series designed for broad wavelength coverage from 0.72–5 µm, SuperBand™ lenses provide flexibility across visible, SWIR and MWIR imaging applications. They are well suited to systems requiring wide spectral response and compatibility with multiple detector types.
Diablo broadband lenses are optimized for 3–12 µm operation, supporting MWIR-to-LWIR imaging applications and advanced SLS and MCT detector platforms.
The Cardinal Series is an extension to the original Ruby Series with
extended midwave infrared (eMWIR) performance.
