LWIR 8–12 μm · Athermalized fixed-focus reference
19 mm F/0.9 Athermalized LWIR Lens (KIA001901)
KIA001901 is a 19 mm F/0.9 athermalized, fixed-focus LWIR reference for 8–12 μm imaging. Its published detector reference is 640 × 512 with 17 μm pixels, giving a 31° × 25.4° field of view. Compared with the KI610011 reference on the same detector format, it offers a wider scene window. Choose between them using the required field of view and installation constraints.

How to evaluate KIA001901 for your system
The source record lists an envelope of Φ30 mm × 26 mm and a weight reference of ≤35 g. Confirm the mount and flange-distance requirements against the approved drawing. The source also lists a 15 m–∞ depth-of-field reference; close-range use needs separate review. Do not equate F/0.9 or the published field of view with a guaranteed system sensitivity or recognition range.

Athermalized is the source configuration designation. Ask for the available optical and thermal test evidence for the selected detector and temperature range. The approved drawing, quotation and acceptance plan define the supplied configuration.

These field-of-view references use different detector formats. They are not a comparison on one common detector and do not guarantee interchangeability.
Does the published 31° × 25.4° field of view apply to every detector?
No. It is the reference for 640 × 512 / 17 μm. A different detector format or pixel pitch changes the system comparison and requires confirmation.
