SWIR-Falcon

The Fastest Shortwave Infrared Camera 

Alphacore’s SWIR-Falcon camera is an ultra high-speed, Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) shortwave infrared (SWIR) camera.

It is the fastest SWIR camera available and provides outstanding high-speed SWIR vision. It delivers the unique capability of maximizing its frame rate up to 320,000 fps, leveraging Alphacore's high-speed, low-noise data converter IP.

In addition, the SWIR-Falcon allows users to program a region-of-interest (ROI) and its frame rate to accommodate a wide range of application requirements.
