SWIR OPTICAL ENGINEERING

Designed Around the Detector and Working Distance

COE Sapphire provides custom SWIR imaging lenses for InGaAs cameras used in machine vision, semiconductor inspection, automated sorting, moisture analysis, spectral imaging and low-light observation. Designs are matched to detector size, pixel pitch, wavelength range, working distance, field of view and mechanical envelope.

InGaAs Cameras

Lens resolution, image circle and spectral response coordinated with the detector format and pixel pitch.

Machine Vision

Working distance, field of view, distortion and mechanical interface optimized for industrial inspection.

Spectral Imaging

Material and coating choices developed around the actual short-wave infrared range and transmission target.

APPLICATIONS

Reveal Information Beyond Visible Imaging

SWIR imaging can distinguish materials and process conditions that are difficult to capture in the visible spectrum. Reliable results require a lens that maintains resolution and transmission while controlling distortion, focus shift and stray light.

Semiconductor Inspection

Wafer, package and subsurface inspection with optical performance matched to the camera and process geometry.

Sorting and Moisture Analysis

Optics for agricultural, food, recycling and material-differentiation systems.

Low-Light Observation

Custom lenses for night imaging, surveillance and specialized scientific observation.

MATERIALS & MANUFACTURING

From Optical Design to SWIR Lens Assembly

Fused silica, selected optical glasses, silicon, sapphire and other materials may be considered according to the exact wavelength range and performance objective. Multi-element systems can be optimized for resolution, compact size, working distance or broad spectral coverage.

Design and Tolerancing

Optical layout, glass selection, distortion, tolerance analysis and mechanical interface review aligned with manufacturability.

Coating and Assembly

Band-specific AR coatings, precision centering and mechanical assembly coordinated for the finished SWIR system.
