What are NIR Detectors/Sensors?
A Near Infrared (NIR) Detector is used to analyze the surface of the material by using infrared technology. This detector is used in the form of an NIR spectroscopy which uses the near infrared region of an electromagnetic spectrum. So, the infrared region cannot be recognized with the human eye and due to this it is referred as shorter wavelengths in the infrared spectrum.
The major segments of NIR detectors/sensors is further discussed in this report and includes the various types of technologies used in NIR detectors such as MEMS FT-NIR, digital light processing NIR, nyxel, diode, array technology, silicon-on-insulator image sensing and others. The NIR detectors/sensors report is also segmented on the type of products, such as photodetectors, type of image sensors, like CCD and CMOS and modules. NIR detectors/sensors use several types of substrate materials such as Pbs, HgCdTe, InGaAs, Si, Ge and others which are discussed in this report.
What are the major applications of NIR Detectors/Sensors?
NIR detectors/sensors are used in various applications such as eye tracking, gesture recognition, machine vision, 3D mapping, spectroscopy and others. The application like machine vision is the most preferred type of application which is used for providing imaging based automatic inspection and is also used for process control for industrial purposes. Eye-tracking and spectroscopy are also widely used for purposes, like tracking image using HCI (Human Computer Interface) field as a tool for analyzing users’ webpage usage patterns, allowing interaction with disabled people, medical diagnostics, psychological research and several others.
Market Research and Market Trends of NIR Detector/Sensors
- The process improvements have led to rapid developments of the CMOS imagers that have expanded the low-light-level cameras. Thus, CMOS imagers are also used as night vision cameras that will further boost the need for NIR sensors and quantum efficiency.
- The miniaturization of NIR sensors is implemented and therefore used in the application, like spectroscopy for medicinal plant quality control.
- The usage of NIR sensors in IoT applications has become a major trend as IoT does not work without sensors. Medium Wavelength Infrared Radiation (MWIR) sensors have huge demand in IoT applications, as these are used in modern visualization and sensing. The current applications like the detection of real-time data in the smart grid, finding of range, mapping and so on require different sensors like charge-coupled device (CCD), photosensors and others to collect data.
- MWIR sensors are used in drones and robots for cameras and navigation.
- InVisage Technologies Inc (Calfornia) had introduced Spark4K near infrared camera sensor. It has the benefit of Quantum Film technology.
- Spark4K sensor produces the expanded range of operations for NIR cameras that can work with augmented reality and authentication systems. This Spark4K sensor is formed by the QuantumFilm’s higher NIR sensitivity technology which is widely used for providing high resolution.
