Allied Vision Goldeye cameras with InGaAs sensor technology enables you to see further into the infrared spectral range than classic CCD / CMOS cameras. Due to the cameras high sensitivity in the Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR) range of 900-1700 nm, new applications become possible.
What applications can be solved with SWIR?
SWIR cameras help provide contrast and emphasize features in various applications due to the nature of the wavelengths. Applications ranging from agricultural (food), textile, semiconductor and surveillance, allows the ability to see through materials that are opaque to the eye with SWIR.
Several models are available to help solve these applications.
Goldeye cameras are now available with Camera link interfaces in addition to GigE and are low cost! Contact us for a quote!
The following are a few examples of Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR ) applications:
Solar Cell Inspection
Light emitted by silicon in solar cells peak at 1150nm and are impossible to detect using normal CCD/CMOS cameras.
Using SWIR cameras, luminescent imaging helps identify non uniformities at 1150nm
Semiconductor Inspection
At wavelengths above 1100 nm silicon becomes transparent.
In turn, SWIR cameras are perfect for analyzing metallization and electrical contact errors on the backside of wafers.

Surveillance Applications
SWIR cameras minimize fog and smoke in surveillance applications allowing scenes not present in the visible realm to be seen.
Other applications include: Airborne Remote sensing (UAV’s), Food inspection, Moisture Detection, Glass production, Recycling, Scientific & Medical Hyper-spectral imaging, Vision Enhancement and more..
