The first shortwave infrared camera built on quantum dot sensor technology has been launched by US firm SWIR Vision Systems
Technology that advances 3D imaging, makes lenses more resistant to vibration, turns a CMOS camera virtually into a CCD, and makes SWIR imaging less expensive, are all innovations shortlisted for this year’s Vision Award, to be presented at the Vision show in Stuttgart
Spin-out firm SWIR Vision Systems is to commercialise colloidal quantum dot infrared sensors, which, the company says, could displace InGaAs technology. Dr Ethan Klem, Allan Hilton, and George Wildeman from the company discuss the performance, fabrication, and cost trade-offs of CQD sensors versus InGaAs
RTI International, a US non-profit research institute, has spun out a venture company, SWIR Vision Systems, to commercialise RTI’s infrared camera technology
