Hamamatsu Photonics has developed an InGaAs area image sensor for hyperspectral cameras, capable of detecting shortwave infrared light up to 2.55µm.
Hamamatsu’s InGaAs image sensor, G14674-0808W, is fabricated using compound opto-semiconductor manufacturing technology.
Installing this new InGaAs area image sensor into hyperspectral cameras for plastic recycling will boost the recycling rate. Hyperspectral cameras can screen and sort plastics containing flame-retardant resin to separate them out from other plastics, which has been extremely difficult up until now.
