l Strong fog penetration
ability
l Low-light imaging (night
vision capability)
The glow of the atmosphere at night contains
shortwave infrared components. Shortwave infrared can be imaged in the lowest
starlight night, with a particular night vision capability.
l Identify the target
Shortwave infrared is very sensitive to moisture.
Objects lacking moisture appear white, and objects rich in moisture appear
black, help to identify inanimate objects.
l Detection of concealed
lighting
Illumination with a wavelength of 1550nm, which is safe for the human eye, is invisible to the naked eye but can be easily seen by a shortwave infrared camera.
