Compact camera offers best of both worlds
The Visible-InGaAs MiniCamera is billed as the world's smallest dual wavelength range camera that simultaneously images in the visible and short-wave infra-red spectrum.
Dual-wavelength imager is ready to ship
The world's smallest dual-wavelength imager, the Visible-InGaAs MiniCamera is now available in OEM quantities for immediate shipping.
The SU640 SDV contains Sensors Unlimited's own foundry-made indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) detector which offers unprecedented sensitivity and resolution in the shortwave infra-red (SWIR) wavelength spectrum.
The camera, recently awarded a "Best in Test for 2005" honour is currently in full production and available in OEM quantities.
The high resolution area camera has a snapshot exposure mode and continuous or triggered scanning modes.
The factory preset exposure times range from 250us to 33.8ms.
Programmable settings can be achieved via an external trigger for settings greater than 10us.
At full resolution, the frame rate is greater than 29 frames per second with an unparalleled 100% optical fill factor.
The quantum efficiency of the near-IR sensor is over 65% from 1000 to 1600nm.
With the camera's onboard nonuniformity corrections (NUCs), data processing is made simpler and easier than ever before.
The camera is as easy to use as a home camcorder and can plug into any television for RS170 compatible video or can output to a CameraLink frame grabber card, allowing 14bit digital video imagery.
Industrial applications include process monitoring in metal smelting and processing, defect monitoring in glassmaking and plastic film extrusion, laser beam profiling and medical imaging.
Sensors Unlimited's award-winning, high resolution, shortwave infra-red area camera is now available for immediate shipping.
