Allied Vision, a leading manufacturer of digital machine vision cameras, has been honored by the 2022 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards. The esteemed panel of judges from the optics and photonics community recognized two of Allied Vision’s new short-wave infrared (SWIR) cameras:

  • Alvium SWIR RCG, which received a Silver Honoree Award in the Detectors & Imaging category.
  • Goldeye XSWIR, which earned a Bronze Honoree Award in the Spectroscopy category.

Peter Fretty, Editor-in-Chief of Laser Focus World, congratulated Allied Vision Technologies on their achievements and highlighted the program’s goal to celebrate innovation within the photonics community.

Key Features of the Recognized Products

Alvium SWIR RCG: Silver Honoree in Detectors & Imaging

This camera is designed for high-performance imaging applications requiring superior clarity and compact design. It incorporates the latest advancements in SWIR technology, including its innovative “Remove Object Glare” (ROG) feature, making it ideal for applications where identifying subtle details is critical.

The Alvium SWIR RCG stands out due to:

  • Its lightweight and compact design—weighing as little as 20 grams bareboard.
  • Advanced resolution options:
    • Barebone models weigh just 20g, with frame rates of up to 249 fps, making it ideal for real-time image processing tasks.
      For example:
      Model Resolution Frame Rate
      Goldeye G/CL-034 XSWIR 1.9 TEC2 Up to 636 x 508 pixels (VGA) and an impressive frame rate of up to frame rates, making it suitable for high-speed imaging tasks.

The Silver Honoree Award highlights the camera’s ability to detect wavelengths beyond standard infrared ranges, enabling clearer spectral differentiation.

Goldeye XSWIR: Bronze Honoree in Spectroscopy

This extended SWIR camera is designed for advanced spectroscopy applications. Key capabilities include:

  • Dual-stage sensor cooling (TEC2) integrated into the cameras.
  • The sensors can detect wavelengths up to 1.9 µm or even higher, depending on the model.
