Infrared cameras are used for image processing applications in the spectral range from 0.9 µm to 14 µm. This range is not accessible to the human eye. The long-wave ranges between 3-14 µm (MWIR and LWIR) are preferably used in thermal imaging in the medical field, rescue services or also for finding defects in electrics, electronics and construction, but also in research.
The short-wave infrared range (SWIR) of 900 - 2500 nm is particularly attractive for image processing. Imaging in this spectral range simplifies applications such as wafer and solar cell inspection, fruit sorting, plant growth monitoring or security feature detection.
The Ninox-640 is a cooled, high sensitivity digital VIS-SWIR camera.
The Acuros eSWIR VGA series from SWIR Vision Systems deliver crisp images in the range from 400 to 2100 nm. The cameras are designated EAR-99 requiring no license for export.
This laser beam profiler features a CMOS sensor that guarantees frame rates of up to 60 Hz with high dynamics and is suitable for large beam diameters up to 11 mm.
The beam analysis camera WinCamD-IR-BB with integrated microbolometer array enables analyzes on long-wave lasers in the range of 2 μm to 16 μm.
DataRay's ILM system is used for beam profile monitoring of high power lasers consisting of an attenuator for high powers, an imaging lens system and a camera system. The measurement of very small laser beams with diameters of less than micrometers is possible despite often high laser powers.
