Semiconductor Wafer Quality Inspection
Our SWIR cameras are used by leading semiconductor companies for wafer inspection and defect detection in materials transparent to light in 900-2900 nm range.
SWIR camera models best aligned for this market include the sens 1920, sens 1280, sens HiPe, sens 640V-ST
Our c-mount swir cameras can easily attach to popular microscopes and we can configure a complete SWIR microscope (including illumination) based on your exact requirements.
Laser Tracking and Laser Applications
Our SWIR camera product family includes specific models that are very well aligned for demanding laser applications, including:
- Laser communications
- Laser Tracking – up to 10 kHz
- Laser alignment & Beam Profiling
- Active Imaging
Many of our SWIR cameras support fast gating (100 nanoseconds) which is essential for applications involving pulsed lasers. We support laser tracking applications where there is and is not a trigger signal from the laser control module. Laser profiling is an important application and for many of our cameras you can purchase a camera without a sensor window or with an AR coated window to mitigate fringing effects.
Suggested models for laser applications include the 640v-stp, 640m-stp, 640g-stp
.
Security and Surveillance
Being able to keep at all times a clear situational awareness in harsh environmental conditions, day and night can make a huge difference when defending or protecting people. Our SWIR imaging solutions are specified in OEM military programs and security systems.
- Surveillance in difficult weather conditions
- Gated Imaging
- Night Vision
Suggested SWIR camera models for surveillance include: sens 1920, sens 1280, sens sens-640m-ste, and sens 640g-ste
Life Science Imaging and Microscopy
SWIR opens new opportunities for deep tissue imaging for In-vivo applications. Traditionally, for deep tissue imaging ionizing radiation is used (X-ray and Y-ray) but poses some risks to biological tissue.
Photoluminescence Imaging is preferred, using fluorescent Dye and excitation laser.
Traditionally Visible and NIR band have been used:
- Visible band (400-650nm) is used only for superficial tissues (strong scattering and absorption).
- NIR band or NIR1 (850-900nm) has been used in the last 20 years.
SWIR or NIR2 (1300-1400nm) has the following advantages:
- Stronger transmission than NIR band
- Lower scattering
- Commercially available and FDA approved dyes show strong emission in the NIR2 band.
We can configure microscopes for your live animal imaging or fluorescence imaging application.
Suggested SWIR cameras for these types of application include: sens-hipe sens 640v-st, sens 1280, sens-640m-ste, and sens 640g-ste
