The major drivers for the global Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) market are technological development of shortwave IR detector in terms of size, weight, and power at low cost as well as the night sighting capabilities for military application. Night sighting capabilities are used in military as well as law enforcement agencies. It consists of imagers as well as detectors. Night sighting technology is used to detect objects in low light or total darkness using thermal radiations. These devices help to form intensified images which are not visible to naked eyes because of the insufficient light reaching to the eyes from the objects. Thus, night vision technologies with numerous applications are acting as a strong driver for Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) market.
