Very often i read info where the very experiences thermographers refers to short wave and mid wave cameras like if there are the same ..
exist the mid wave cameras?..
i understand that if we considerer near infrared, short wave cameras will be in the middle of near and long wave cameras..
is this true or not .. thanks |

In the maintenance world of infrared, there are two typical band widths of light that are commonly used, 3-5 and 8-12um. The IR spectrum is far larger than that, and other applications require the use of other bands. The military, for instance, commonly refers to 3-5um as mid-wave because they use a couple of other IR bands that maintenance does not. The common term for the .75-1um band is "near-IR", 1-3um is "short IR", 3-5um is "mid-IR", and 8-12 (or longer) is "long-IR".
Both ways of stating it are correct. It just depends on what IR application you use: military/law enforcement or maintenance/PdM.
