Goldeye SWIR (Short-Wave-Infra-Red) cameras are equipped with InGaAs sensor technology making them sensitive in the short wave infrared spectrum ranging from 900 nm to 1,700 nm. All Goldeye cameras are the perfect choice for industrial and scientific applications beyond the visible spectrum.

Goldeye SWIR cameras enable users to capture low-noise SWIR images at high frame rates (up to 344 fps full res) with low noise, high linearity and high dynamic range. In addition, comprehensive on-board image correction and optimization features allow vision system integrators to realise the best possible SWIR imaging outcomes.

An extensive range of Goldeye SWIR cameras (18 models) provides users with many options with reference to resolution (0.1 MP - 1.3 MP), lens-mount (C-Mount, F-Mount, M42-Mount), cooling (TEC1, TEC2, TECless) and interface (GigE, Camera Link).

Goldeye SWIR cameras are also offered in either a ruggedized version or an advanced scientific version. The ruggedized version is a compact industrial camera that is offered either with or without single-stage TEC while the advanced scientific version comes with a fan, a nitrogen filled cooling chamber and a single or dual-stage TEC.

All Goldeye SWIR cameras are equipped with lockable cable connectors and a wide operating temperature range (-20 °C to +55 °C) enabling a secure operation under harsh conditions.

The Goldeye series also includes eight Goldeye eXtended SWIR (XSWIR) camera models that incorporate one of two SWIR inGaAs sensors. One that can detect wavelengths up to 1.9 µm and the other up to 2.2 µm, both with high quantum efficiencies.

Key Features
• Integrated single-stage sensor cooling (TEC1) and several on-board image correction features allow you to see more beyond the visible with outstanding image quality
• Multiple acquisition modes: SingleFrame, MultiFrame, Continuous, or RecorderMode
• ROI settings for frame rate and data rate control
• High analog gain mode to increase sensitivity
• Built-in image correction for optimised image quality: Non-uniformity correction with automatic adaption, Defect pixel correction, Background correction
• Look-up tables to increase contrast
• User sets for simplified camera setup
• Digital binning to increase sensitivity
• Auto Gain
Applications
Semi-conductor/Solar Cell inspection
	•	With wavelengths of 1100 nm or more silicon becomes transparent. As Goldeye SWIR cameras operate in the short wave infrared spectrum ranging from 900 nm to 1,700 nm they are ideal for analysing metalisation and detecting imperfections like fine cracks or electrical contact issues on the backside of wafers.
	•	Light emitted by silicon when electrically stimulated peaks at 1150 nm. Luminescence imaging helps to identify non-uniformities in solar cells by detecting light from these defects.
Hyperspectral Imaging
	•	Each inorganic material has a different chemical composition and crystalline structure resulting in a unique spectral reflection corresponding to its specific light absorption characteristics. Hyperspectral Imaging combines digital imaging with spectroscopy to obtain detailed information across multiple wavelengths. Typical applications include recycling and plastic sorting as well as geology and mineral inspection.
Other Applications
• Agriculture such as airborne remote sensing	•	Print industry, for example banknote inspection
• Food inspection	•	Glass production
• Moisture detection	•	Vision enhancement
• Laser beam profiling	•	Scientific and medical including hyperspectral imaging, microscopy, and optical coherence tomography
