Edmund Optics, a leading global manufacturer of optical components and imaging solutions, has expanded its Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) offering, delivering a complete ecosystem of off-the-shelf cameras, lenses, illumination, filters, and accessories—all available from one trusted source. With SWIR technology now becoming more accessible, SWIR imaging is moving from niche use cases to mainstream deployment across production environments and automated inspection lines.

This shift creates new opportunities for manufacturers and system integrators to capture imaging data invisible to traditional cameras. Applications include monitoring liquid levels through opaque containers, detecting hidden defects in plastics, and improving quality assurance in machine vision systems. By consolidating every critical component—from Teledyne and LUCID Vision Labs™ cameras and TECHSPEC® optics to Effilux and ProPhotonix illumination—Edmund Optics simplifies integration and accelerates system development.
The availability of in-stock SWIR imaging components from a single supplier enables faster implementation, minimized delays, and greater process reliability in demanding industrial inspection workflows. Backed by 24/7 access to expert engineers, Edmund Optics positions organizations to unlock the performance and cost advantages of SWIR technology today.
