Hyperspectral imaging has been around for decades, but new capabilities are taking the technology to whole new levels. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll and John Lewis sat down with Alex Fong, CTO at Hinalea Imaging, to talk about where the technology is heading. Hinalea uses a Fabry-Pérot interferometry approach that provides extreme versatility — very quickly collecting entire high-resolution ranges from the visible through near infrared, shortwave infrared (SWIR), even up into ultraviolet. Fong details the wide range of applications this enables — from monitoring critical processes in real time to detecting hazards quickly — as well as what is making SWIR technologies so popular.
