The worlds highest resolution SWIR cameras
ACUROS® CQD®
SWIR Vision Systems has pioneered the first-ever, 2.1 megapixel, CQD SWIR camera. The Acuros CQD is the highest resolution SWIR camera commercially available.
DESIGNED TO HELP YOU SEE,
WHAT YOU COULDN'T SEE BEFORE
With broad band spectral response from 400 nm to 2000 nm, Acuros delivers high definition imaging across the visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared spectral region; all from a single camera. The high resolution, full HD, CQD cameras generate wide field of view images and excellent spatial resolution, making the Acuros® invaluable to multiple industries and applications. What once was nearly impossible to see, is now visible in high resolution detail.
USE CASES
Silicon Chip and Wafer Inspection
- Silicon wafers and ICs are transparent to SWIR photons
- Inspection of buried and back-side features and defects
- Front-side, back-side and edge inspection
- Increase production efficiency
- Improve production costs with low price p/pixel SWIR cameras
Laser Beam Inspection
- Enables high quality, accurate and uniform measurements of laser beams from 400 – 2000 nm
- Very large area sensor for highly divergent beams
- Mitigates laser-induced fringing effects
Other Applications
- Consumer electronics: 3D depth sensing, under display imagers, gesture recognition
- Autonomous vehicles: Longer range 3D SWIR Lidar, 2D imaging through obscured environments, driver monitoring systems
How It Works
The Acuros® CQD® camera products use our patented CQD sensor technology. CQD sensors are fabricated using low-cost deposition techniques to produce quantum dot photodiodes directly on CMOS readout integrated circuits (ROICs).

- Transparent Electrode
- Other Thin Film
Layers - Quantum Dots
- CMOS-based read-out

The CQD® Process:
The process requires no hybridization, no epitaxial growth or exotic substrate materials, scaling easily to high volume production. The approach employs low-cost, solution-processed, colloidal quantum dots to form small pitch p-n photodiode arrays sensitive in both the SWIR and visible spectral bands.
