Edmund Optics^®

SWIR, or short-wave infrared, is light invisible to the human eye but detectable by specialized infrared imaging lenses and cameras.

Waveplates and retarders are optical components designed to transmit light while modifying its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam.

Optical Filters are used to selectively transmit or block certain wavelengths or wavelength ranges within optical systems.
