We introduce for the first time, extended short wavelength infrared extended SWIR (eSWIR) cameras with sensitivity from 350nm to 2000nm wavelength. This new family of eSWIR products is built with pixel formats up to 1920 x 1080 at a pixel pitch of 15 microns. Close cousins to our ground-breaking Acuros® SWIR cameras, these new cameras become the highest resolution eSWIR cameras commercially available. World-class detectivity and dark noise performance for cameras operating in this band are achieved at room temperature. Broadband sensitivity and low noise are achieved via specialized process engineering of the company’s Acuros® CQD® quantum dot materials. The Acuros® CQD® eSWIR cameras with single-stage thermo-electric coolers (TECs) exhibit sensitivity superior to most traditional epitaxial infrared sensors in the 1600 – 2000nm band.
This new eSWIR capability will open up new imaging applications including machine vision, scientific research, medical imaging, long-range imaging through summer haze, maritime haze, and fine dust, wafer defect inspection, high-speed thermal imaging, hydrocarbon, and gas detection, plastic sorting, laser beam profiling and more. All Acuros® cameras are GenICam compliant and come with USB3 or GigE Vision interfaces. The cameras are designated EAR-99 requiring no license for lawful export.

SWIR Vision Systems has introduced a new class of cameras featuring a 400nm to 1,700nm broadband image sensor technology based on colloidal quantum dot (CQD) thin film photodiodes fabricated monolithically on silicon readout wafers.
These sensors have the potential to achieve for SWIR imaging, what CMOS image sensors and micro-bolometer arrays have achieved for visible and longwave infrared imaging respectively.
Namely, to leverage the scale and cost structure of the silicon integrated circuit industry, moving SWIR imaging from a specialized niche into broad commercial markets.
SWIR Vision Systems’ CQD sensor technology uses a monolithic integration approach, in which the quantum dot-based sensor is fabricated directly onto CMOS readout integrated circuits (ROICs) using well-established, low-cost semiconductor deposition techniques.
The process requires no hybridization, no epitaxial growth or exotic substrate materials, and can be easily scaled to wafer-level fabrication.
The approach also employs low-cost, solution-processed, colloidal quantum dots to form as small as sub-2μm pitch p-n photodiode arrays sensitive in both the SWIR and visible spectral bands.
