Knight Optical’s underwater lenses are precision-engineered to meet the demanding optical needs of subsea camera systems. Designed for peak performance across diverse oceanographic and marine environments, these lenses are manufactured from advanced materials including UV fused silica, Schott glass, and IR-grade crystals like germanium and silicon.
Whether deployed for deep-sea exploration, underwater robotics, or marine research platforms, each lens undergoes stringent quality checks—metrology testing and 100% visual inspection—to ensure resilience under pressure and accuracy across UV to IR spectrums.
Knight Optical’s lens portfolio includes bespoke and off-the-shelf optical solutions tailored for use in varied subsea lighting and imaging conditions. From aspheric lenses correcting spherical distortions to Fresnel and condenser lenses optimized for compact form factors and light collection efficiency, Knight Optical supports high-performance integration into underwater systems. Custom fabrication is available to meet specific dimensional and material tolerances, with applications extending from near-surface sensors to full-ocean-depth payloads.
