High Efficiency Hyperspec®
NIR and SWIR

High Efficiency Hyperspec® NIR (900 - 1700nm) &
High Efficiency Hyperspec® SWIR (900 - 2500nm)
imaging sensors offer extreme performance for
the most demanding applications
Headwall’s High Efficiency Hyperspec® NIR & SWIR integrated hyperspectral imaging sensors offer the highest optical performance and diffraction efficiency available in the industry. Targeting the most demanding
spectral imaging applications, the High Efficiency Hyperspec® spectrometers offer diffraction efficiency greater than 90%, aberration-corrected
imaging, and a completely athermalized, lightweight sensor design.
The High Efficiency Hyperspec® imagers are optimized for airborne
sensor requirements. Easily mounted in turret and gimbal configurations, key attributes of these Hyperspec® sensors include superior
imaging performance (greater than 90% optical efficiency), flight path
efficiency with a tall image slit, and athermalized, lightweight construction - a robust design for environmental durability & measurement accuracy and repeatability.
The award-winning Hyperspec imaging spectrometer family is built
on a totally reflective concentric, f/2.4 optical design and optimized
for imaging in harsh environments. All Hyperspec® instruments are
based on Headwall’s patented aberration-corrected, imaging design
which feature the company’s high efficiency diffraction gratings.
®

In order to minimize stray light and aberrations, transmissive optical
components such as prisms are not used within the imaging spectrometer. This platform is further enhanced by a telecentric optical
input design which enables superior spectral and spatial imaging.
High Efficiency Hyperspec imaging spectrometers are available in
two optimized configurations; each model providing different capabilities to support application requirements in the NIR (900-1700nm)
and SWIR (900-2500nm) spectral ranges.

The High Efficiency Hyperspec® sensors are also available with the Hyperspec Starter Kit and in pan/tilt configurations for stationary deployment.
