Short wave infrared imaging (SWIR)
Shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging refers to the use of cameras or sensors that are sensitive to light in the SWIR region of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically between 900 and 2500 nanometers in wavelength. SWIR imaging is used for a wide range of applications, including remote sensing, industrial inspection, and medical imaging.
SWIR imaging works by detecting the amount of light that is reflected or emitted by objects in the SWIR range. Different materials and surfaces reflect or absorb SWIR light differently, so SWIR imaging can be used to detect variations in materials, identify objects or substances that are not visible to the naked eye, and locate features that may be obscured by other wavelengths of light.
SWIR imaging has several advantages over other imaging modalities. For example, SWIR light can penetrate through certain materials that block visible light, such as smoke, fog, or haze. Additionally, SWIR imaging can be used in low light or nighttime conditions, as well as in harsh environments, such as those with high temperatures or extreme radiation.
