SWIR Image sensor

Product Overview

LUMIDAR-SW is an image sensor used in industrial vision cameras, which can provide clear imaging in the visible light and SWIR 0.3-1.7 μm wide band. Compared to conventional InGaAs solution, LUMIDAR-SW is equipped with the innovative LumidarIR™ Technology, High cost-effective SWIR imaging solution with wide spectral response achieved through disruptive organic semiconductor design processes.

Features

Generally, visible refers to the part of the spectrum that can be seen by human eye, with a wavelength of about 0.4-0.78 μm, yet there is more information hidden from human sight. Short-wave infrared (SWIR) is close to visible, and the wavelength range is generally between 0.9-2.5 μm, LUMIDAR_SW is used for imaging in this wavelength range, and compared with visible image sensors, it has the characteristics of wide spectrum clear imaging, high penetration, moisture/material identification, and temperature sensing etc.

Imaging Case

In order to intuitively compare the differences between visible CMOS image sensor and LUMIDAR_SW SWIR image sensor, we put the following sets of actual pictures for reference. These photos are partly from the DEMO in our lab and partly from our customer's camera integrated with LUMIDAR-SW.
