Short-wave infrared illumination for material penetration and absorption contrast
The SWIR series provides seven wavelengths from 1050 to 1650 nm and is intended for SWIR cameras. Different material absorption, penetration and reflectivity can reveal internal or hidden features that appear differently under NIR.

Apple spoilage
Use SWIR absorption contrast to reveal internal damaged regions.
Photovoltaic circuits
Improve circuit-mark contrast at a selected SWIR wavelength.
Wafer holes
Use penetration differences to inspect hidden hole structure.
Food and packaging
Select wavelength for content or fill-level contrast.
NIR-versus-SWIR comparisons on fruit, photovoltaic material and wafers
The examples show how wavelength changes penetrability, reflectivity and absorption. Workpieces and results remain paired without retaining the surrounding document page.

Choose wavelength and illumination form from the material response
Nine source rows span ring, spot, line, bar and backlight geometries. Their dimensions, current/voltage and power remain tied to the individual row.
- 1
Compare wavelengths
Test the target at relevant SWIR absorption bands.
- 2
Choose illumination geometry
Select ring, spot, line, bar or backlight based on the feature.
- 3
Match camera sensitivity
Confirm detector and lens transmission at the chosen band.
- 4
Use the exact electrical row
Do not transfer voltage, current or power between forms.
Product identity and rows are kept explicit
The PDF specifies operation at 0–40 °C and 20–85% RH without condensation, a 50,000 h reference life at 50% factory-default luminance, one year of free technical support, sample free-rent service, and PVC or high-flex extension cables. Its parameter table names model LXV-3SL083 while dimensional drawing 3 is labelled LXV-3SL22; both source identities are retained here instead of silently merging them.
