R&D and Engineering

TAVS designs and manufactures high-performance LWIR, MWIR and SWIR optics and lenses for cooled and uncooled thermal imagers. We offer custom optical designs, custom mechanical designs and standard off-the-shelf products, including single-field lenses, multi-field lenses and motorized zoom lenses, as well as complete thermal imagers.

We specialize in the design and manufacture of the following products:

Large zoom ratio continuous zoom lenses

We offer products with different clarity requirements, including HD 1280 and SD 640 lenses, with high-precision autofocus and full focus clarity throughout the zoom range, and MTF close to the diffraction limit. These large focal length zoom lenses have excellent detection, recognition and identification (DRI) distances and are suitable for a wide range of monitoring, security, and payload applications.

Lightweight and compact zoom lenses

The ultralight continuous zoom lens series includes:

Cooled SD: 640*51218-275mm F5.5;

15-300mm F4.0;

15-330mm F4.0;

18-430mm F5.5 lenses;

Cooled HD: 1280*1024 10μm 18-225 F4.0;

19-200mm F4.0;

18-250mm F4.0 lenses.

Designed primarily for low-power payloads, including small aircraft, airborne, and handheld applications, the ultralight product line's superior optomechanical design ensures that these lenses are the smallest, lightest, and most compact on the market today while still achieving the highest level of infrared thermal imaging performance.
