Semiconductor industry: Silicon materials have high transmittance in the short wave infrared band. Short wave infrared cameras can penetrate the surface of wafers, image internal structures, and be used to detect the quality of semiconductor materials, defects or cracks in silicon ingots and chip products, as well as precise laser alignment during wafer cutting processes. This can effectively improve semiconductor manufacturing output, optimize processes, and enhance overall efficiency.

Photovoltaic industry: In the production process of crystalline silicon solar cells, defects such as hidden cracks and scratches may occur. By applying forward bias or laser irradiation excitation, the solar cells themselves emit short wave infrared light, which can be detected by short wave infrared cameras to ensure the quality and performance of the photovoltaic cells.

In the field of industrial material sorting, shortwave infrared spectroscopy is highly correlated with the vibration of material molecules, and the differences in spectral characteristics of different materials provide reliable basis for automated sorting. For example, in plastic recycling, near transparent plastics such as PET and PVC can be distinguished, and the sorting purity can reach over 99%; In agricultural product screening, it can detect grain mold or tea grade with fast processing speed.

In the field of high-temperature production line monitoring, traditional long wave infrared temperature measurement is susceptible to environmental radiation interference in high-temperature scenarios, while short wave infrared temperature measurement is based on the target's own thermal radiation and is more suitable for non-contact monitoring of rapidly moving objects at high temperatures (above 300 ℃). In the steel billet continuous casting production line, the short wave line array camera combined with thermal radiation model and multispectral algorithm can achieve temperature field distribution imaging of multiple targets, with a temperature measurement accuracy of ± 2 ℃.

In the field of national defense and security, shortwave infrared cameras can utilize the atmospheric window characteristics to effectively detect targets such as personnel, vehicles, and ships at long distances, and are relatively less affected by weather. They can also work well in environments such as haze and light smoke. At the same time, it can also be used for tasks such as camouflage recognition, precision guidance, nighttime reconnaissance and surveillance, border patrol and control.

In the field of agriculture, water has absorption characteristics for light with a wavelength of around 1450nm. The water content in fruit bruising areas is relatively high. Using a short wave infrared camera with this wavelength to capture images can screen, classify, and detect external damage to fruits. In addition, it can also be used for unmanned aerial vehicle based spectral telemetry to monitor the growth and nutritional status of crops.

Medical field: Short wave infrared cameras can be used for medical imaging and research, such as hyperspectral and multispectral imaging, which can help diagnose and study diseases. It can also be used for skin examination, etc., by capturing the characteristics of the skin in the short wave infrared band, it can assist in detecting skin diseases or evaluating skin conditions.

In the field of fiber optic communication, fiber optic is the main transmission medium of modern communication networks. Short wave infrared cameras can effectively and intuitively observe fiber optic breakpoint problems and fault location. Combined with software and algorithm calibration, quantitative measurement of leakage intensity can also be achieved, which helps to ensure the overall performance and quality of fiber optic systems.
