Description of the Module A Fixed Focal Length Lens is an optical lens designed to maintain a constant focal length, ensuring consistent imaging performance across a specified field of view. Unlike zoom lenses, which allow variable focal lengths, fixed focal length lenses offer superior optical quality due to their simpler design. This simplicity minimizes aberrations, distortion, and other optical defects, making them ideal for high-precision applications.
Fixed Focal Length Lenses are commonly used in environments where high image quality and consistency are critical, such as in machine vision systems, microscopy, and other precision optical systems. These lenses are engineered with high-quality glass elements and coatings to optimize light transmission and reduce reflections, ensuring clear and sharp images even in challenging conditions. The absence of moving parts also contributes to their durability and reliability, making them a preferred choice for long-term, high-precision applications.

- High transmission rates to ensure bright and clear imaging, even in low-light conditions.
How to Evaluate the Performance? Performance of Fixed Focal Length Lenses can be evaluated through several optical tests, including:
- Modulation Transfer Function (MTF): Measures the lens’s ability to reproduce fine details.
- Distortion Test: Evaluates the extent of image warping or bending.
- Transmission Efficiency: Assesses the amount of light that passes through the lens compared to the amount reflected or absorbed.
How to Select the Module Selection of a Fixed Focal Length Lens should be based on the specific requirements of the application, including desired field of view, depth of field, and the operating environment. Consideration should also be given to the lens’s compatibility with the existing optical system, including mounting types and wavelength compatibility.
