What Is Broadband Infrared?

Our broadband infrared (BBIR) imaging solutions are engineered to operate across multiple infrared wavelength ranges in one system. Instead of being limited to a single band, our BBIR systems capture usable signals across a broader spectrum, providing flexible imaging for complex and changing environments.

This wide response is especially valuable in real-world applications where targets, backgrounds, and emissivity vary. By combining broad spectral coverage with advanced optics and camera design, LightPath BBIR cameras enable more versatile monitoring, testing, and inspection.

Mantis Uncooled Broadband Camera

See more with dual-band imaging. Mantis captures in both the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) simultaneously, delivering unmatched clarity across a broad temperature spectrum. By combining MWIR sensitivity for extremely hot targets with LWIR coverage for subtler thermal signatures, Mantis ensures accurate imaging in environments where detail and differentiation are essential.

  • Dual-band MWIR + LWIR imaging for superior contrast and accuracy
  • Extends high-temperature imaging capability up to 2000°C
  • Compact, low-power design for seamless integration into fixed or mobile platforms
  • Continuous, reliable performance with minimal maintenance
