According to Memes Consulting, Imec, the world's leading research and innovation center for nanoelectronics and digital technology, announced on January 25, 2018 that it will showcase its first at the SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco in February. Short-wave infrared (SWIR) band hyperspectral imaging camera. The camera integrates a CMOS-based spectral filter and an InGaAs-based imager, thus combining the compact and low cost of CMOS technology with the spectral range of InGaAs. Over the past five years, CMOS semiconductor hyperspectral image filters designed and manufactured by Imec have been applied to silicon-based CMOS image sensors in a monolithically integrated manner with visible and near-infrared light (VNIR) in the 400-1000 nm band. . However, some studies predict that more than half of commercial multispectral and hyperspectral imaging applications will need to identify short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral data in the 1000 to 1700 nm band.
According to Andy Lambrechts, Imec Integrated Imaging Research Project Manager, “The SWIR band is the key to hyperspectral imaging because it provides valuable quantitative information such as food, plants, human tissue, pharmaceutical powders, etc. in organic and inorganic materials. Water, fat, lipid and protein content, as well as key distinguishing properties of plastics, paper, wood and many other materials. Imec's core capabilities in optical filter design and manufacturing, as well as ensuring complex, rugged compact The low-cost hyperspectral imaging system solution is delivered steadily, and the accumulated expertise has extended its product offering to the SWIR band.†Imec's first SWIR band hyperspectral imager not only has 32 to 100 or more spectra. With a linear scan "step filter" design, it also supports a snapshot mosaic solution that captures 4 to 16 spectral bands in real time at video capture speeds. The hyperspectral imager with USB 3.0 and Ethernet (GIGE) interfaces is currently being certified with strategic partners. Jerome Baron, business development manager for integrated imaging and vision systems at Imec, explains, "The InGaAs imaging industry is at a turning point in development.
At present, the market has gradually realized that the development prospects of SWIR band hyperspectral imagers in many application fields have surpassed the traditional niche fields such as military, remote sensing and science and technology. For research institutions such as Imec, the development of SWIR band is compact. The timing of a low-cost, rugged hyperspectral imager is just right. Imec's goal is to advance its product business in the most price-sensitive market for this technology, including food sorting, waste management and recycling, industrial machine vision, precision agriculture and medical diagnostics. Imec's first SWIR band hyperspectral imager will be on display at SPIE Photonics West on February 1, 2018. The booth is located at #7321, North Hall, Moscow Center, San Francisco.
