Headwall Photonics’ Hyperspec Selected for Airborne Apps

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email
FITCHBURG, Mass., May 9, 2012 — Headwall Photonics announced that its Hyperspec short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensors were selected for airborne applications after the successful completion of rigorous performance testing at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). Hyperspectral imaging allows the identification of objects within the sensor’s field of view based on the target’s chemical “fingerprint” or spectral signature. Based on a patented sensor design, Headwall’s Hyperspec sensors are designed specifically for high spectral and spatial imaging in harsh operating environments such as...Read full article

    hyperspectral imaging
    Methods for identifying and mapping materials through spectroscopic remote sensing. Also called imaging spectroscopy; ultraspectral imaging.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
