Owl LWIR Thermal Imaging Applications
Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) also known as Far IR (FIR)
Truly passive; operates at 8- 14 um spectral range, detects thermal energy
What is Thermal Imaging

- LWIR can “see” in bright and blinding light
- Sees in complete darkness; Zero lux illumination
- Visibility not affected by snow, rain or fog
- Requires no active illumination; unlike LiDAR or cameras imaging in the visible or shortwave infrared (SWIR) bands
- Truly passive; operates at 8- 14 um spectral range, detects thermal energy
- Now available in 1280×800 HD
- Cost Effective
- Safety Qualified to AEC Q100 standards
Let's bust some myths
about LWIR
Thermal Works Everywhere… All the Time!
Driving Rain
LWIR is not impacted by rain
Fog & Smoke
Used by firefighters for a reason. LWIR is not effected by smoke or fog
Snow Conditions
Works in snow and not affected by frigid temperatures
Hot & Humid
It can be 96F outside and still identify humans
