Problem
Traditional imaging solutions often rely on visible light, which limits their ability to reveal subsurface properties, identify materials, or provide clear vision in challenging lighting or atmospheric conditions. Existing infrared imaging technologies can be expensive or lack the sensitivity needed for certain applications.
Solution
Emberion designs and manufactures graphene-based infrared cameras and camera cores that extend imaging capabilities beyond the visible spectrum into the short-wave infrared (SWIR) range. By integrating nanomaterials with custom-designed CMOS circuitry, Emberion's sensors offer a broad spectral range, high dynamic range, and cost-competitive performance. These cameras enable the detection of material properties and structural details not visible with traditional imaging, making them suitable for applications such as machine vision, hyperspectral imaging, autonomous vehicles, and enhanced vision systems. Emberion's technology provides solutions for imaging through fog, smoke, and other obscurants, as well as for identifying materials and defects in various industrial and medical contexts.
Target Audience
Emberion's primary customers include system integrators, manufacturers of sorting systems, hyperspectral cameras, automotive companies developing autonomous vehicles, and organizations requiring enhanced vision solutions for surveillance, security, and industrial process control.
