Near-IR area cameras have high
sensitivity
Contains foundry-made indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) detector which offers unprecedented sensitivity and resolution in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelength spectrum
Sensors Unlimited has developed an extremely high-resolution area camera for capturing images in the 900nm to1700nm waveband range The solid state SU640SDV-1.7RT InGaAs SWIR area camera features a 640x512 pixel resolution on a 25 micron pitch with room temperature operation and built-in anti-blooming properties

Sensors Unlimited's new LC array extends well beyond other near-infrared linear arrays to deliver high sensitivity for imaging applications from 0.9 microns all the way out to 2.6 microns
Shortwave IR linear arrays for advanced imaging
Designed for broad wavelength range from 0.9 microns to 2.6 microns, the LC series offers a comprehensive feature set from our proprietary ROIC to maximise instrument design flexibility
The SU640 SDV contains SUI's own foundry-made indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) detector which offers unprecedented sensitivity and resolution in the shortwave infrared (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 250 microseconds to 33.8 milliseconds.
Programmable settings can be achieved via an external trigger for settings greater than ten microseconds.
At full resolution, the frame rate is greater than 29 frames per second with what the company says is an unparalleled 100% optical fill factor.
The quantum efficiency of the near-IR sensor is over 65% from 1000nm to 1600nm.
With the camera's on-board non-uniformity 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 RS-170 compatible video or can output to a CameraLink frame grabber card, allowing 14-bit 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.
