Acuros® CQD® SWIR cameras and sensors
Acuros CQD SWIR cameras provide high-resolution imaging and sensing capabilities across the visible, near-infrared (NIR), and shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectrum. The cameras are built using onsemi’s CQD photodiode sensors with spectral response from 400 nm to 1700 nm for standard SWIR sensors and 400 nm to 2100 nm for eSWIR sensors. They feature high frame rates, global shutter operation, and up to 70 dB of dynamic range.
Acuros CQD SWIR cameras are designed to meet the imaging requirements of demanding industrial applications. They provide system integrators, vision solution providers, and end users the flexibility of programmable frame time, exposure time, gain modes, window modes, binning modes, and more. Designed for use in multi-tool imaging systems, they can be operated with an internal clock or can be externally triggered via software or a hardware TTL trigger input.

- Agriculture
- Medical Imaging

What is SWIR?
- Typically defined as 900-1700nm
- Our sensors can achieve 2500nm (usually referred to eSWIR or extended SWIR)
- SWIR photons are reflected or absorbed, similar to visible and NIR band
