Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding SWIR Imaging

Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) imaging operates in the 900-1700nm wavelength range, allowing it to capture details invisible to conventional visible light cameras. This technology benefits seeing through obscurants like smoke, fog, and certain materials, making it an essential tool for various industrial, scientific, and defense applications.

Key Advantages of SWIR Imaging:

  • Material Penetration – SWIR light can penetrate certain materials like silicon, making it ideal for semiconductor inspection.
  • High Contrast Imaging – Enhanced visibility in low-light conditions and high-contrast environments.
  • Thermal Sensitivity – Detects heat variations without requiring active illumination.
  • Water & Moisture Detection – Useful in agriculture and food sorting applications.

What is InGaAs and Why is it Essential for SWIR Imaging?

Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) is a specialized semiconductor material used in SWIR sensors due to its high quantum efficiency in the 900-1700nm range. Unlike silicon-based sensors, which are limited to the visible spectrum, InGaAs enables imaging beyond human vision, making it indispensable for SWIR applications.

Advantages of InGaAs Sensors:

  • High Sensitivity – Superior performance in low-light and high-contrast conditions.
  • Low Noise & High Dynamic Range – Delivers crisp, clear images even in challenging environments.
  • Temperature Stability – Reliable performance across various operational conditions.
  • Broad Wavelength Coverage – Ideal for applications such as semiconductor inspection, surveillance, biomedical imaging, and industrial sorting.

At NIT, we design and develop our own InGaAs sensors, ensuring that our SWIR cameras deliver unparalleled performance, flexibility, and reliability. This in-house capability allows us to push the boundaries of SWIR imaging technology while providing tailored solutions for our customers.

Applications of SWIR Imaging

Our SWIR cameras are trusted across industries for their ability to see beyond the visible spectrum:

  • Semiconductor Inspection – Detect hidden defects and measure silicon wafer thickness.
  • Welding & Additive Manufacturing – Monitor high-temperature processes for precision and quality control.
  • Security & Surveillance – Enhance visibility in low-light and challenging environments.
  • Laser Applications – Monitor laser sources and alignments accurately.
  • Microscopy & Life Science – Capture high-resolution images for biological and medical research.
  • Other Applications – Discover more possibilities with our versatile SWIR cameras.
