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.

When combined with air drying, shortwave-infrared can be used to detect active dental cavities. This is possible because active cavities are porous and hold more water, which affects the infrared measurements around the affected area as the tooth dries. (Image: Chang et al.)
