SWIR Vision Systems Announces Acuros GO 6 MP Handheld SWIR Camera Empowering Mobile SWIR Imaging with Cutting-Edge CQD Sensor Technology
Durham, North Carolina, January 22, 2024 — SWIR Vision Systems, a leader in short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) imaging technology, proudly introduces the Acuros® GO 6 MP SWIR camera, a groundbreaking portable, handheld mirrorless camera featuring the company's high-resolution Colloidal Quantum Dot SWIR sensor technology.
The Acuros GO provides users with unprecedented flexibility, portability, and performance for diverse imaging applications and markets including defense, law enforcement, first responder applications, agricultural imaging, industrial vision, scientific, and consumer photography.
The SWIR capabilities of the Acuros GO make it valuable for imaging through degraded visual environments such as rain, snow, haze, smog, smoke, and dust. The reduced atmospheric scattering of SWIR photons enables exceptional long-range imaging, allowing photographers to capture sweeping panoramas and immersive vistas. By combining the camera's broad spectral response with optical filters, the camera can be used for detecting and imaging moisture, sugar content, hydrocarbons, and other infrared chemical signatures.
The Acuros GO is a ruggedized, IP67-rated camera with a mirrorless design, offering versatility and durability for on-the-go imaging needs.
Key Features of the Acuros GO 6 MP Mirrorless Camera include:
- 3064 x 2040 pixel resolution using the new 7µm pitch Acuros CQD sensor
- Broadband spectral sensitivity from 400 nm to 1700 nm
- Battery powered operation
- Global snapshot shutter design with video frame rates of 30 fps
- Digital shutter speeds up to 1/100,000 (10 us) to capture high-speed events without motion blur
- Automatic Gain Control (AGC), Auto Exposure (AE), and dynamic sensor calibrations (NUCs) for high-quality image capture across various light intensities and environmental conditions
Ethan Klem, SWIR Vision’s Chief Technology Officer commented, “The Acuros GO brings portable infrared imaging to vision professionals and photography enthusiasts looking to leverage the capabilities of near and shortwave infrared imaging.”

What is the price of this camera?
ReplyDeleteWhat are the prices for swir sensors?
Do you think we will have a Swir sensor in our phones?
6Mpixels is good!
exist few smartphones with thermal sensors. most people dont really need this.
Deletecamera price guess in range 50-90k dollars
if you live long you can see even more fancy things than swir in smartphones.
What is a real use case ?
ReplyDeleteAny indications on price and use cases?
ReplyDeleteGuessed more than 0.4M
ReplyDeleteAdvantage is the same user experience as general digital cameras
0.4M? you mean >400000$? on topic that is fascinating to me is the price level in the swir market ;-) why would one be ready to pay that much for a camera? or what application would justify such a high price?
DeleteIsnt the main claim of the CQD based SWIR sensors to be a 'lowcost', CMOSish scaleable alternative to ingaas?
military equipment cost lot. so they dont mind pay such tags.
Deletesome high end medics also.
science experiments also
may be some industrial applications also.
but I think camera cost less in 2-3 times
main problem they make small q-ty of sensors. standard VIS CMOS with this approach also will be high cost.
