OPAL COLLIMATORPRECISION AND PERFORMANCE FOR MILITARY EO DEVICES
The OPAL collimator offers exceptional precision and ease of use for the maintenance of military electro-optical devices. It is perfect for critical testing of thermal and daylight sights, ensuring optimal performance in the field.
WHY CHOOSE THE OPAL MULTISPECTRAL TEST BENCH?
The OPAL collimator stands out with its advanced technical features:
CLEAR APERTURE
100 mm for optimal precision
FIELD OF VIEW
Greater of 2.2 degrees for extensive coverage
OPTICAL QUALITY
Limited by diffraction, ensuring unmatched clarity
ASSOCIATED SOURCES
Includes a high-resolution blackbody and/or a visible/ NIR integrating sphere source controllable via an Ethernet connection
Achieve unmatched accuracy in thermal imager range measurement with HGH Blackbodies!
Complementing the OPAL Collimator, DCN1000H2 HGH blackbody source offers unparalleled precision for the test of Thermal Imagers. This differential infrared source is ideal for simulating accurate thermal contrasts and calculating the ranges in detection, recognition and identification.
Essential tests for your military optical devices
With the OPAL collimator, effortlessly perform the following tests:
- Alignment/Boresighting: Verify the proper alignment of visible and thermal channels
- Day and Night Resolution: Conduct independent resolution tests for visible, night vision and thermal channels
KEY FEATURES
DIFFERENTIAL OPERATING MODE
with respect to the temperature of the target at OPAL collimator focus, for spatial resolution and range measurement
WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE
Suitable for all testing needs
COMPACT AND RUGGED DESIGN
Perfect for both laboratory and field applications
FAST STABILIZATION TIME
For increased efficiency
Control the operation of NVG ant night vision clip-on devices with the ISV210-F source
Combined with the OPAL collimator and a set of neutral density filters, the visible and near-infrared source ISV210-F allows the accurate simulation of different night levels down to overcast starlight. This combination is perfect for measuring the resolution of night vision devices under various irradiances but also for checking the alignment of optical axes:
- Stable and uniform luminance even at very low light levels
- Extended luminance range
- Certified and calibrated 2856 K color temperature
- Fast setup with the OPAL bench
