A SWIR Lens is a lens designed for use with Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) cameras. SWIR cameras detect wavelengths of light between 900 and 1700 nanometers (900-1700nm), which are longer than those detected by visible light cameras but shorter than those detected by thermal cameras.

SWIR lenses are designed to transmit and focus light in the SWIR wavelength range, and are typically made from materials such as germanium, which have high transmission in the SWIR region. They are used in a variety of applications, including remote sensing, surveillance, and industrial imaging.

SWIR lenses can be used as a component of a hyperspectral camera system. In such a system, the SWIR lens would be used to capture images in the SWIR region of the electromagnetic spectrum, which would then be processed by the hyperspectral camera to generate a hyperspectral image.

The combination of a hyperspectral camera and a SWIR lens can provide a powerful tool for a range of applications, including environmental monitoring, mineral exploration, agriculture, and surveillance. By capturing detailed information about the composition of objects and materials, hyperspectral imaging can enable more accurate and efficient analysis of data, leading to improved decision-making and outcomes.

SWIR lenses come in different types, including fixed focal length lenses, zoom lenses, and wide-angle lenses, and are available in both manual and motorized versions. The choice of lens will depend on the specific application and imaging requirements.
