JAVOL will take you to quickly understand the applications and advantages of swirl cameras.

Advantages of SWIR Shortwave Infrared Cameras

1. High sensitivity can be achieved in both room temperature and cooling environments.

2. High sensitivity, high resolution, high integration, and low power consumption.

3. The short-wave infrared camera can work under the glow of the night sky. The glow of the night sky is 5-7 times as bright as starlight, and it is in the short-wave infrared band, so even in the absence of moonlight, the short-wave infrared camera can observe very clear targets.

4. The short-wave infrared camera can image day and night, and truly achieve 24-hour all-weather imaging.

5. The short-wave infrared camera can observe the target through fog, smoke, haze, and even image through the window.

6. High response spectrum above 1μm.

7. The short-wave infrared camera can realize hidden active lighting.

8. It can see hidden lasers and beacons.

Application of SWIR Shortwave Infrared Camera

1. Short-wave infrared light accounts for about 40%-50% of solar energy, which can be used for solar panel detection.

2. The transmission in silica fiber has the characteristics of low loss and low dispersion. Short-wave infrared cameras can be used for optical communication and long-range inspection of optical fibers at an affordable price.

3. Water has a strong absorption peak in the short-wave infrared spectrum, which can be used for process gas moisture monitoring, food drying monitoring, agricultural product screening, crop growth monitoring, paper drying monitoring, pharmaceutical process drying monitoring, skin moisturizing detection, and aircraft safety inspection ( de-icing).

4. The wavelength of the short-wave infrared camera that can best analyze the human tissue epidermis, which can be used for co-modulating tomography (OCT), early dental examination, skin beauty, etc.

5. The human eye safety belt can be used for laser ranging, night coastal defense surveillance, secret surveillance, etc.

6. It can penetrate ink, but not carbon traces. It can be used for oil painting identification analysis, banknote identification, accident identification, etc.

7. The metal surface has high reflectivity, and short-wave infrared can be used for telemetry analysis.

8. Compared with thermal imaging (mid- and long-wave infrared), it can better identify contours and can be used for nighttime coastal defense surveillance and secret surveillance.

9. 1200nm and above wavelengths can see through silicon wafers, which can be used for wafer defect inspection, solder ball array bonding inspection, MEMS packaging, wafer-level packaging inspection, wafer-level optical interconnection, optical communication, etc.

Filter the wavelength below 1200nm, that is, the CCD or CMOS Sensor is not visible. Shortwave infrared can be used for night coastal defense surveillance, secret surveillance tracking, advanced anti-theft security, etc.

10. Covering the analysis of molecular components such as CH, NH, CO, OH, etc., which can be used for food, feed component analysis, drug component analysis, blood analysis (sugar content, oxygen content, pH value, etc.), gas detection, industrial pollution detection, process reaction monitoring, pulp composition monitoring, telemetry analysis (air, surface), bowling lane detection, recycled plastic classification, oil painting forensics analysis, crime scene forensics, drilling oil monitoring, petrochemical (oil) analysis, jewelry forensics, identification banknote inspection, bovine mastitis Inspection, sludge heat treatment, etc.

11. The general application of short-wave infrared thermal imagers does not need to be cooled to 77K, such as mid-far infrared. Can be used for light night vision goggles, light satellite payloads, etc.

12. When used for detection and analysis, it is non-destructive testing and can be used for online component/moisture real-time monitoring, non-invasive blood sugar monitoring, etc.

When used for detection and analysis, it can be remotely detected and can be used for toxic substances and gas detection, endoscopy, oil well composition analysis, night monitoring, factory emission monitoring, communication spectrum monitoring, surface analysis, etc.

When used for detection and analysis, no waste is generated. Shortwave infrared cameras can be used for zero pollution detection, zero infection detection, etc.

13. It can monitor the heat source above 150℃, and can be used for glass processing, iron and steel smelting, sludge heat treatment, etc.
