Effilux SWIR LED Ring Lights

Using an Infrared Application? Discover the importance of choosing the right material and comparisons of each at Edmund Optics.

UV grade fused silica is ideal for UV and visible applications, but IR grade fused silica has better transmission in the IR due to a lack of OH- impurities.

Hyperspectral and multispectral imaging are imaging technologies that capture information from a broader portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Optical Engineer Andrew Fisher explains how you can see the "invisible" light, or infrared light, from your own TV remote.
