Sensors Unlimited, owned by Goodrich, has introduced the high-speed square 25-micron pixel shortwave infrared (SWIR) SU-LDH Digital Line Scan Camera.
It uses the LC linear array, providing quiet correlated double-sampling and integrate-while-read snapshot acquisition.
The SU1024LDH camera delivers high dynamic range at frame rates greater than 46,000 lines a second and quantum efficiency greater than 70 per cent from 1.0 to 1.6 microns.
The square 25-micron pixels make this camera ideal for high-speed machine vision, for example monitoring continuous processes and moving objects.
The solid-state detector doesn't need cooling and offers wavelength response from 0.8 to 1.7 microns.
Many materials classification and sorting, inspection, and process control applications require longer wavelength spectral response than that offered by silicon-based line-scan cameras.
The SWIR camera images beyond the visible wavelength, providing inspection capabilities that are vital for moisture detection, plastic sorting and many thermal processes.
The SU1024LDH camera features 14-bit digital capture and is available with the Camera Link interface for rapid system integration.
