Flir Tau SWIR Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) Camera Core
The Tau SWIR joins FLIRs Tau and Neutrino families of best-in-class size, weight and power (SWaP) optimized cameras.
A shortwave infrared (SWIR) camera core, Tau SWIR provides outstanding image quality and performance over a wide range of imaging and light level conditions. It is ideal for a variety of OEM applications, including hyperspectral instrumentation, silicon inspection, electro-optical payloads, art restoration, and portable applications.
The Tau SWIR camera incorporates FLIRs high resolution 640x512 ISC1202 Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) 15-micron pitch focal plane array (FPA) and includes several advanced camera controls features.
Tau SWIRs advanced features start with FLIRs world-class Readout Integrated Circuits (ROIC) and FPA design that make full and expanded use of FLIRs market leading Tau camera environment in a SWaP-optimized package.
