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 extended range arrays are both available in single- or three-stage thermoelectric cooling enclosures or packaged for use in cryogenic Dewars.
Sensors Unlimited's full line of focal plane arrays comes in a variety of pixel sizes and geometries from 128 to 1024 elements.
The advanced performance 1024 square pixel arrays are perfectly suited for high-resolution imaging of fast-moving industrial processes such as recycling or sorting applications.
InGaAs photodiode arrays from Sensors Unlimited feature low noise, anti-blooming design, high uniformity and high quantum efficiency over the shortwave infra-red wavelength range.
Ideal for optical performance monitor (OPM) for DWDM optical networks, the arrays are also widely used in optical spectrometers.
Other applications include hot process inspection, food inspection, telecommunications, moisture sensing, geological remote sensing and spectroscopy.
The high quality, highly reliable arrays are suitable for techniques that require longer wavelength response such as lidar and free-space communications.
The full line of high performance linear arrays may be ordered as components or may be installed in the SUI linescan cameras.
For application-specific requirements, Sensors Unlimited's in-house foundry also offers custom design and fabrication of 1 and 2D format arrays with high speed PIN and/or avalanche photodiodes.
