When you hold a magnifying glass close to an object, its light waves are widened before they are focused on your eyes, causing the object to appear very large.

When the light impinges onto the photodiode array, it creates a charge that is proportional to light intensity. This charge is then converted to a digital signal which is translated via the SWIR camera’s electronics into an image. Generally, the image is grayscale, with each pixel corresponding to a different shade of gray that represents light intensity at that location.

"This is great book! I recommend that all specialists who work in laser shaping application, non-imaging or illumination optics have this book."— Anatoli Trafimuk, Optics for Hire, Arlington, Massachusetts, USA

Sensors used in SWIR cameras are built with a photodiode array, often using InGaAs materials (indium gallium arsenide) which has a bandgap energy smaller than silicon, allowing it to absorb photons with a longer wavelength. When light in the SWIR range passes through the camera lens, it is focused onto the sensor. This sensor consists of multiple pixels arranged in a grid pattern. Each pixel detects the intensity of incoming light and corresponds to a specific location in the image.

One of the reasons SWIR cameras are so popular is that they work effectively in low-light conditions, which is suitable for a range of applications such as agriculture, semiconductor inspection, medical imaging, surveillance, and security. In addition, utilizing InGaAs in photodiode arrays offers high sensitivity and resolution to light in the SWIR range.

SWIR cameras use sensors to detect the reflection and emission of light in the SWIR wavelength range, which is between 0.9 and 2.5 µm. These cameras consist of a sensor, a lens, a photodiode array, and a conversion system, each playing an important role in detecting light and converting it into an electronic signal.

InGaAs is not the only material used in SWIR sensors, but InGaAs offers a broader range of SWIR wavelengths and can be used in gas and environmental monitoring applications.

This new edition details the important features of beam shaping and exposes the subtleties of the theory and techniques that are best demonstrated through proven applications. New chapters cover illumination light shaping in optical lithography; optical micro-manipulation of live mammalian cells through trapping, sorting, and transfection; and laser beam shaping through fiber optic beam delivery. The book discusses applications in lithography, laser printing, optical data storage, stable isotope separation, and spatially dispersive lasers. It also provides a history of the field and includes extensive references.

Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) cameras have become essential imaging tools across agriculture, defense, industrial and medical industries. These cameras utilize SWIR light in the wavelength range of 0.9-2.5 µm, which is invisible to the naked eye, to produce high-resolution images. One of the primary benefits of SWIR imaging techniques is that they can take images through materials that are opaque to certain wavelengths of visible light – materials like glass or polymers, a benefit often unmatched by other technologies. This blog post will provide an overview of how SWIR cameras work and their primary applications.

"Laser Beam Shaping Applications, second edition, presents an authoritative account of the currently most relevant applications of the field of laser beam shaping. With a fine addition of three new chapters and an updated version of the rest the chapters, a wide audience should find it as one of the most useful references on their shelves. The applications and solutions provided by the beam shaping techniques covered in the book are specific, but the clear and thoughtful presentation of the topics is very stimulating, and the reader should find it easy to explore different ways of applying them or exploring new applications. The prestige and trajectories of the contributing authors are a guarantee of high quality. I have no doubt that the effort they have done in the writing of these chapters has been genuinely motivated towards providing examples for solving problems in industry, as well as fostering new applications of laser beam shaping."— Raul I.
