Wave Series Cameras
Dual Line Scan SWIR Camera
The Wave Series cameras are dual-band line scan cameras capable of sensing Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR) light. The cameras are based on Indium/Gallium /Arsenide (InGaAs) sensor technology and JAI’s prism line scan technology, making them capable of delivering dual-band imaging in the SWIR light spectrum (900 – 1700 nm).
Multi-imager camera technology is a JAI core competence and over the years JAI has delivered cameras covering RGB and NIR into various applications.
The new Wave Series camera brings dual-band imaging to the SWIR light spectrum to provide lots of extra “hidden” vision data. This capability can enhance current machine vision systems 
with imaging beyond what is possible when imaging the visible and/or the near infrared light spectrum. The Wave Series can open up a range of new applications in automated visual inspection.

WA-1000D-CL is capable of delivering dual-band imaging in the SWIR light spectrum (900 – 1700 nm)
Multi-imager camera technology is a JAI core competence and over the years JAI has delivered cameras covering RGB and NIR into various applications.
The new Wave Series camera brings dual-band imaging to the SWIR light spectrum to provide lots of extra “hidden” vision data. This capability has the potential to enhance current machine vision systems with imaging beyond what is possible when imaging the visible and/or the near infrared light spectrum. The Wave Series can open up a range of new applications in automated visual inspection.
Thanks to prism-based simultaneous image acquisition, it’s possible to precisely align images in two different spectral bands even when objects are moving at high speeds. The WA-1000D-CL has a resolution of 2 x 1024 pixels and a maximum line frequency of 39 kHz. (39,230 lines/second).
Operation of the Wave Series camera is straightforward; no cooling is required and the data interface is standard Camera Link.
An advantage in SWIR is the variety of off-the-shelf optics available in comparison with MWIR cameras that require custom lenses and windows made of expensive materials.
