Thermal Imaging
Shortwave infrared (SWIR) is used in many applications for imaging objects with temperature greater than 100°C (> 373°K or >212°F).
In practice, InGaAs is used to image thermal radiation from objects ranging in temperature from 100 degrees C to above 1600 degrees C.
Above these temperatures, objects emit enough thermal emissions to be detected by SWIR camera’s FOV.
Typical application is used for industrial furnace monitoring for different products under super high temperature processing.
