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.
The device has no moving parts, offers easy integration into existing systems, fast signal readout and real-time measurement results for an attractive alternative to FTIR-NIR Interferometry.
The LC series suits applications such as industrial process control, biomedical analysis, plastics recycling and NIR spectroscopy.
The new InGaAs linear photodiodes with the extended 2.6 micron wavelength array also offer wider spectral range and improved functionality over FTIR-NIR instrumentation.
Developed for broad-wavelength-range, multichannel spectrometer designs, the SU256LSC-2.6T2 detector array features 256 elements of extended response InGaAs material.
The LC InGaAs photodiode array is vibration-resistant, easy to use and has a large active area, with a 50 micron x 250 micron pixel size.
LC package design includes a two-stage TEC and thermally-optimised materials for multichannel spectrometers that require high sensitivity, low power consumption and long-term stability.
