Short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) light is useful in applications that rely on the identification of a target substance or material. A key characteristic of this type of light is that target materials, especially organic materials, often have unique transmission (reflectivity) and absorption properties when exposed to SWIR.

By identifying the absorption and transmission wavelengths of your chosen materials, Ushio Epitex SWIR LEDs and sensors can take your application beyond the restrictions of the visible world.
