A ThorLabs camera for “NIR”. Comments on Kelvin labeling of image sensors and electromagnetic regions

I also found your ThorLabs repositories on GitHub, but probably not sufficient for what I need.

Do you make your own images sensors, or use ones from image sensor manufacturers and then integrate them?  I talk to most all the sensor manufacturers, but also look for off-the-shelf solutions where they are cost effective or fit the requirements. In every case, I look at noise and process limitations built into the imaging processing chains, down to the final users.

I cover both the needs of the 5 billion Internet users for the Internet Foundation, and my own research on magnetic, electromagnetic and gravitational noise in sensors of all types.

The InfraRed page on Wikipedia does not go far enough or fine enough.  It needs to give wavelength, energy in eV and temperature in Kelvin

Here I was just looking at a new field of LWIR thermographic microscopy and related applications.  I am keeping note of NIR (roughly 2000 – 4000 Kelvin), Short Wavelength IR (roughly 1000-2000 Kelvin), Mid Wavelength IR (roughly 400 – 1000 Kelvin), Long Wavelength IR (200-400 Kelvin), and Far Infrared (0 to 200 Kelvin). But there are groups working in femtoKelvin, picoKelvin, nanoKelvin and all temperature scales.  I have to work with all of them for the Internet Foundation, which covers all human knowledge.  The Internet Foundation “Standard Internet” (SI) units go well beyond “Systeme International” (SI) units and requirements.

Right now, temperature units are better for some areas of research and applications. But it is nonlinear so I am trying to make sure groups and manufacturers and integrators are not just grabbing stuff “off the shelf”.
