A Complete Guide to Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) for Machine Vision

Electromagnetic spectrum chart highlighting the Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) region between 1050nm and 2500nm, used in InGaAs machine vision cameras.

What is SWIR? Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) is a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum, located between visible light and long-wave infrared; SWIR typically lies between 1050nm to 2500nm. These wavelengths are invisible to the human eye but can be extremely useful to advanced imaging. To optimally capture SWIR radiation, specialised SWIR cameras are designed with […]
