High resolution in the near-infrared
Family of linear digital video linescan cameras for high resolution machine vision and spectroscopy deliver low noise with high dynamic range
Sensors Unlimited (SUI), manufacturer of shortwave infrared (SWIR) sensors and near-infrared (NIR) imaging systems made with indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) technology, introduces the new family of linear digital video (LDV) linescan cameras for high resolution machine vision and spectroscopy The revolutionary low noise, high dynamic range, high-line-rate platform works with any of Sensors Unlimited's standard linear arrays (from 800nm to 1700nm) and their extended wavelength arrays (from 1100nm to 2200nm)

Arrays for multi-channel spectrometer designs
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
Available with a 25 micron pitch or a 50 micron pitch, several array geometries may be selected with pixel counts of 256, 512 or 1024.
The new linear digital video linescan cameras feature easy interface to optics and electronics.
Like all of SUI's indium gallium arsenide near-IR cameras, the new compact and rugged LDV shortwave infrared camera line operates at room temperature and works with standard glass optics.
Other features include Camera Link compatible, 14-bit digital output with continuous or triggered scanning modes and asynchronous operation.
Described as ideal for applications in machine vision and spectroscopy, the SUI linear digital video linescan camera family is useful for inspection of agricultural and food products, wood, glass and metals.
For medical applications, this camera line is said to be perfectly suited for optical coherence tomography of living tissue.
The LDV family can be utilised for remote ground sensing, industrial materials classification and sorting, optical channel monitoring and telecommunications fibre and waveguide alignment and/or production control.
Compact and light, with high quantum efficiency, the new LDV Linescan Cameras are said to be easy to operate and require very low maintenance.
