Athermalization Ruggedization Edmund Optics There is continued interest in developing high performance infrared (ir) systems which are capable of operating in harsh environments with extreme temperatures. the technique for maintaining focus of an ir system over an extended temperature range is called athermalization. Athermalization, in the field of optics, is the process of achieving optothermal stability in optomechanical systems. this is done by minimizing variations in optical performance over a range of temperatures. [1][2]. As imaging lenses for machine vision become used in ever more demanding and unforgiving environments, the number of types of ruggedization for applications within specialized environments continues to increase. athermalization is a ruggedization for applications in extreme or changing temperatures. A new technical note provides an introduction to athermalization techniques commonly used by resolve optics to stabilize the performance of lenses and optical systems we design with respect to temperature variation.

What are athermalized machine vision lenses? athermalized imaging lenses are rugged and withstand extreme changes in temperature, minimizing performance changes that likely would occur with standard off the shelf lenses. While active athermalization makes use of less exotic optical materials and is more robust for use in application environments with larger operating temperature ranges, this type of athermalization can be bulkier and more costly to implement. With the advancement of the industry 4.0 plan, embracing automated production processes seems to be a general trend, especially in the field of industrial machine vision inspection, lens ruggedization is developed to meet the requirements in various harsh environments. Athermalization is a type of ruggedization that mitigates the harmful effects of thermal expansion and defocus in optical and imaging systems.
