SWIR lenses
Featured Product from Avantier Inc.
SWIR lenses
SWIR lenses are specifically designed for use in the short wave infrared region with light from 0.9 – 1.7μm. Sometimes referred to as short wave infrared lenses, these optical lenses have an important place in sorting, surveillance, inspection, quality control, and night vision.
Applications of SWIR lenses
SWIR lenses may be best known for their place in outdoor night vision cameras, which has given them ever increasing importance in many defense applications as well as in civilian security.
But SWIR lenses also play an important part in medicine, where they are used for biomedical imaging, in environmental stewardship and in industry. For instance, the fruit industry relies on SWIR imagery to separate blemished fruit from what is good. Bruising or soft spots that would be impossible to see with visible light stand out in stark contrast when using SWIR.
