CBC-Computar M3518-APVSW 35mm F1.8 ViSWIR Hyper Apo Visible-SWIR Lens | 5MP, 1/1.4", C-Mount

Computar M3518-APVSW 35mm ViSWIR Hyper Apo Lens

The CBC-Computar M3518-APVSW is a 35mm F1.8 ViSWIR Hyper Apo fixed focal length lens designed for broadband visible-to-SWIR imaging from 400 nm to 1700 nm. Built for 5MP visible + SWIR sensors and a 1/1.4" image format, this C-mount lens delivers high-resolution imaging performance across a wide spectral range without requiring focus adjustment between visible and short-wave infrared wavelengths.

With Computar’s ViSWIR Hyper Apo optical design, the M3518-APVSW minimizes focus shift across different wavelengths and working distances. This makes it ideal for applications that need consistent sharpness when switching between visible and SWIR light, including hyperspectral imaging, semiconductor inspection, food and material sorting, remote sensing, UAV imaging, machine vision, and industrial inspection systems.

The lens uses unique broadband coating technology to support high transmission across the visible and SWIR spectrum. Its low-distortion optical design provides megapixel clarity for demanding inspection and sensing applications where image accuracy, contrast, and wavelength consistency are critical.

The M3518APVSW is part of Computar’s ViSWIR Hyper Apo lens series, available in multiple focal lengths including 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm, and 50mm. Designed around the popular 11.4 mm image circle format, this compact C-mount SWIR lens provides a strong balance of resolution, spectral performance, and integration flexibility for broadband machine vision systems.
