Optical filters are a seemingly modest – almost invisible – part of infra red cameras, scanners, sensors and detectors.
With the highly transparent Solaris IR360, PSC has a near infra red (NIR) filter which blocks the entire visible spectrum and UV light. Major functional benefits can be achieved when optical filters are chosen for the exact application:
– optimal transmission of only the desired wavelengths
– preventing unwanted reflections at multiple sensors
– preventing interference with surrounding sensors
All this will result in faster operating product with a reliable sensor image.
Infrared filters can be perfectly integrated into a housing, creating an aesthetic whole. The sensor or camera is less visible or recognizable as such. It also offers protection against weather influences or vandalism.
NIR cameras and sensors are used, for instance, for high-speed in-line process controls in the food industry, iris scanners, LiDAR applications, license plate recognition and (night) cameras.
