Capture the Invisible with Kowa SWIR Lenses


SWIR (Short Wave Infrared) technology captures light in the spectral range of infrared radiation, specifically between 900nm and 1700nm. Unlike MWIR (Mid Wave Infrared) and LWIR (Long Wave Infrared) which detect temperature radiation, SWIR operates similarly to visible light by reflecting or absorbing photons, creating strong contrast essential for detailed imaging. This makes SWIR lenses ideal for various high-contrast imaging applications. Kowa's SWIR lenses are designed to meet the needs of industries requiring precise imaging, from machine vision to security and beyond.

Lenses with Transmission from NIR to SWIR


Kowa's lenses optimized for transmission from 800nm to 1900nm are perfect for applications requiring coverage from near infrared (NIR) to short wave infrared (SWIR). These C-mount lenses come with a series of seven fixed focal lengths and a selection of zooms, ensuring high resolution and a wide aperture suitable for the most common SWIR cameras. Ideal for machine vision tasks such as inspecting solar cells or food quality inspection, Kowa's NIR-SWIR lenses are also excellent for CCTV and security applications, enabling night surveillance without illumination and visibility through dense smoke or fog.

Lenses with Transmission from VIS to SWIR



Kowa's VIS-SWIR lenses extend the wavelength coverage even further, from 450nm to 2000nm, designed to minimize focus shift across this broad range. This makes them ideal for VIS-SWIR hyperspectral cameras, which are increasingly important in industrial image processing. These lenses enable detailed analysis of material properties over a wide range of wavelengths, facilitating tasks such as material inspection, separation, and sorting. In the food industry, for instance, these lenses allow for comprehensive inspections, both externally in the visible range and internally at specific infrared wavelengths, without the need for frequent focus adjustments. Kowa’s VIS-SWIR lenses streamline these processes, reducing production times and simplifying the adjustment process.
