Exploring the Unseen: The Science and Applications of SWIR Imaging

Timezone: 11:30 IST | 14:00 SGT/TST | 15:00 JST/KST | 16:00 AEST

The webinar will be conducted in English with real-time translation and captioning in English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, at an APAC-friendly time.

Welcome to our webinar on Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR) Imaging, also known as Near InfraRed II (NIR-II) imaging — a groundbreaking technology that pushes the boundaries of what we can see and understand beyond visible light.

SWIR imaging, powered by advanced Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) sensors, opens a remarkable detection window between 0.9 and 1.7 micrometers. Within this spectral range, new worlds become visible — from the intricate structures deep within biological tissues to distant celestial bodies shimmering across the night sky.

In this session, we’ll explore how SWIR imaging is transforming both scientific research and industrial innovation.

You’ll discover how it enables:

• Non-invasive bioimaging with superior contrast and depth,
• Astronomical observations that reveal phenomena hidden from the naked eye,
• Industrial applications such as high-temperature process monitoring, plastic sorting, and semiconductor wafer inspection.

We’ll begin with the fundamentals of InGaAs sensor technology — the core enabler of SWIR imaging — and then journey through a wide range of real-world applications that highlight its versatility and impact.

Join us as we uncover how SWIR imaging not only reveals the unseen, but also redefines the way we explore, discover, and innovate.
