Short Wave Infrared (SWIR<\/a>) imaging enables applications in a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum we can’t see with the human eye – or traditional CMOS sensors. See our whitepaper on SWIR<\/a> camera concepts, functionality, and application fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until recently, SWIR imaging tended to require bulky cameras, sometimes with cooling, which were not inexpensive. Cost-benefit analysis still justified such cameras for certain applications, but made it challenging to conceive of high-volume or embedded systems designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter Sony’s IMX992\/993<\/a> SenSWIR InGaAs sensors. Now in Allied Vision Technologies’ Alvium camera families. These sensors “see” both SWIR and visible portions of the spectrum. So deploy them for SWIR alone – as capable, compact, cost-effective SWIR cameras. Or you can design applications that benefit from both visible and SWIR images.<\/p>\n\n\n

Camera models and options first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The same two sensors, both the 5.3 MP Sony IMX992 and the 3.2 MP Sony IMX993, are available in the Allied Vision Alvium 1800 series<\/a> with USB3 or MIPI CSI-2 interfaces. As well as in the Alvium G5 series<\/a> with 5GigE interfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And per the Alvium Flex option, besides the housed presentation available for all 3 interfaces, both the USB3 and CSI-2 versions may be ordered with bare board or open-back configuration, ideal for embedded designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broken out by part number the camera models are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
