SWIR - Short-Wave Infrared
Short-Wave Infrared refers to a range of Electromagnetic wavelengths within the infrared spectrum, specifically wavelengths between 0.9 to 2.5 micrometers.
SWIR imaging technology is used in various applications such as Hyperspectral imaging, remote sensing, thermal imaging, Semiconductor inspection, and medical measurement.
It is particularly useful because SWIR wavelengths can penetrate atmospheric obstructions like fog and smoke, allowing for enhanced visibility in challenging conditions. Additionally, SWIR imaging can reveal details not visible to human eyes, making it valuable in scientific research and industrial applications.
CLPT can do
l VIS-SWIR 600-1700nm
l SWIR 900-1700nm
l XSWIR - Extended 1100-1900nm / 1200-2200nm
Eye-Safe
What is eye safe? Manufacturers have referred to lasers with operating wavelengths longer than 1400 nm (mid to far infrared) as eye-safe. Wavelengths in this region are absorbed in anterior portions of the eye (mainly cornea) and therefore never reach the retina.
