Problem
Traditional short-wave infrared (SWIR) cameras, which rely on Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) sensors, are limited by high production costs, scalability issues, and restrictions on pixel density, hindering their adoption across various industries. These limitations impact the ability to capture high-resolution images in applications requiring SWIR imaging.
Solution
SWIR Vision Systems offers Acuros CQD SWIR cameras, which utilize Colloidal Quantum Dot (CQD) sensors to overcome the limitations of traditional InGaAs-based SWIR technology. CQD technology enables the production of high-resolution SWIR cameras at a lower cost and with greater scalability. Acuros cameras deliver high-resolution images with high frame rates and dynamic range, allowing users to capture detailed images in challenging environments. The cameras are available in multiple resolutions and offer various interface options for integration into existing systems.
Target Audience
The primary customers are in industrial, automotive, and defense sectors requiring high-resolution SWIR imaging for applications such as food sorting, imaging through plastics, maritime imaging, and silicon inspection.
