SILIOS Technologies

SILIOS Technologies, a French based high-tech company (located in Provence - south of France), specialized in the micro-optical technologies, is pleased to present its last products for the SWIR domain. Following the presentation of CICADA9, a 1.3 Mpix 9 bands SWIR Multispectral camera covering the range 1100nm-1700nm in 2024 in world premiere, SILIOS do it again in 2026 with the CICADA16 a 16 spectral bands 1.3 Mpix SWIR Snapshot Multispectral Camera During the past years SILIOS Technologies developed the COLOR SHADES® technology, allowing manufacturing multi-spectral pixelated filters for the visible and near IR domain. Each sub-cell of these filters can be sized at a scale of less than 3.45 microns. With the CICADA16, SILIOS Technologies increases its portfolio which included already the CMS series (CMS-C, CMS-V and CM-S - 1.3 Mpx multi-spectral cameras, the CMS4 series (CMS4-C, CMS4-V and CMS4-S - 4.2 Mpix multispectral cameras), the TOUCAN (4.2 Mpix wideband (430nm-870nm) multispectral camera and the CICADA9 (1.3 Mpix SWIR multispectral camera. Now, also based also on COLOR SHADES® technology, SILIOS Technologies showcases at DCS 2026 in National Harbor, the CICADA16, its new 16 bands SXGA SWIR snapshot Multispectral camera. The characteristic of the CICADA16 multispectral camera are: 16 bands covering the range 1,1 µm – 1,7 µm, organized in a Bayer like mosaic and hybridized on the IMX990 1.3 Mpix InGaAs SONY detector offering a spatial resolution of 320x256 pixels per channel. The full 1.3 mpix resolution per channel can be retrived with our demosaicing algorithm. The CICADA16 is oriented towards Defense,Space and homeland security applications but also waste sorting, buildings structures analysis, Agrofood industry, Pharmacy industry for the civil applications. In a addition to these off-the-shelf products, SILIOS Technologies can offer the development of specific multispectral sensors and cameras adapted to the customer exact needs. In particular, the client can choose the commercial sensor (CMOS or InGaAs) adapted to its application (snapshot or push broom mode, resolution, sensitivity, …), the number of bands (2 to 16), the centering of the bands, etc…as well as a Spatialized version of the multispectral sensors of its CMS4 series, TOUCAN, CICADA9 and CICADA16.
