ZV-LAF13W62-M34 | 13mm F1.0 Ultra-Wide Athermalized LWIR Lens | 640x512 12um Uncooled VOx | Export-Ready Germanium-Free Design
Product Overview
The ZV-LAF13W62-M34 is a 13mm F1.0 ultra-wide-angle athermalized lens purpose-built for 640x512 12um uncooled thermal imaging detectors. With a horizontal field of view exceeding 33 degrees, this lens excels in wide-area surveillance applications where maximum situational awareness is required. Its germanium-free optical design eliminates export control concerns, making it ideal for international OEM deployments without supply chain restrictions.
Key Advantages
Germanium-Free & Export-Ready: No ITAR/EAR restrictions. Free from germanium supply chain bottlenecks, enabling unrestricted global shipment for OEM integrators.
Athermalized Performance: Maintains sharp focus from -40C to +80C without mechanical refocusing. The passive athermalization compensates for thermal expansion across the entire operating temperature range.
Ultra-Wide FOV: 33.4-degree horizontal field of view delivers the widest coverage in the ZanVision athermalized lens lineup - ideal for drone payloads, vehicle-mounted systems, and wide-area perimeter monitoring.
F1.0 Fast Aperture: Maximizes photon collection for superior low-contrast detection in challenging thermal environments including fog, smoke, and low thermal delta conditions.
M34x0.5 Mount: Industry-standard interface for seamless integration with 640x512 12um thermal cores from major detector manufacturers.
Ideal Applications
Drone & UAV Thermal Payloads: The 13mm focal length provides exceptional ground coverage at typical UAV flight altitudes (100-300m), making it the preferred choice for aerial inspection, search and rescue, and agricultural monitoring missions.
Wide-Area Perimeter Surveillance: With DRI ranges of approximately 2.4km detection / 600m recognition / 300m identification (human target, per EN IEC 62676-4:2025), this lens covers expansive perimeters with fewer cameras than longer focal length alternatives.
Vehicle-Mounted Systems: Compact form factor and wide FOV suit armored vehicle situational awareness, fire truck thermal vision, and autonomous vehicle sensor suites.
Industrial Condition Monitoring: Wide coverage for factory floor thermal scanning, substation monitoring, and process vessel inspection where broad area coverage is prioritized over long-range detail.
