Sensors Unlimited, Goodrich announces the new high-frame-rate, high resolution, shortwave infrared (SWIR) indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) camera, the SU640SDWH-1.7RT
The innovative, indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) camera has unprecedented high speed and regions of interest (ROI) windowing capabilities with high sensitivity SWIR spectral response from 900nm to 1700nm.
The new 640x512 pixel focal plane array (FPA) on a 25-micron pitch captures full-size images at 109 frames per second (fps) or can image smaller ROI at over 15,000 fps with 100 percent fill factor.
The all-solid-state InGaAs camera features room temperature FPA operation with a single 14-bit digital Camera Link compatible output and a simultaneous analogue video NTSC output.
The high speed camera can also be controlled by serial commands that permit users complete control over the ROI window size, position and integration time.
The ultra-high sensitivity, windowing camera features excellent image quality with on-board non-uniformity corrections and anti-blooming protection.
External triggering of full frame or ROI acquisition and user-programmable exposure times, make this camera ideal for capturing pulsed or high speed events in low-light conditions.
Shortwave infrared imaging applications include machine vision, pulsed laser beam profiling, high speed motion analysis, thermal imaging of combustion or rocket plumes, free-space communications lasers or guide star alignment, high speed semiconductor inspection, optical switch monitoring, hyperspectral imaging and other real-time, image-tracking tasks.
Sensors Unlimited, Goodrich will be premiering the SWIR High Speed, High Resolution Windowing Camera at SPIE's Defense and Security Symposium, April 18-20, 2006 in Orlando, Florida.
