Raptor Photonics has launched an additional member to its family of SWIR and Visible SWIR cameras. The OWL 640 M42 is a rugged, high sensitivity digital VIS-SWIR camera with an M42 lens mount. This mount is used by lens manufacturers including StingRay Optics.
Using a 640 x 512 InGaAs sensor from SCD, the OWL 640 M42 offers visible extension from 0.4µm to 1.7µm to enable high sensitivity imaging. The 15µm x 15µm pixel pitch enables highest resolution imaging.
Available with a 14 bit CameraLink output, the OWL 640 M42 will run from 10 to 120Hz enabling high speed digital video. A new feature On-board Automated Gain Control (AGC) will enable clear video in all light conditions. The OWL 640 also features an on-board intelligent three-point Non Uniform Correction (NUC) algorithm which will provide the highest quality images.
There are a range of applications that the new camera can be used for, including 860, 1064 and 1550nm laser line detection, active imaging, airborne payload, hand-held goggles, imaging through fog, range finding, semiconductor inspection, solar cell inspection, telecommunications and thermography.
Raptor also offers a standard C-Mount version with the SCD sensor in the OWL 640. Other options are available including the OWL 320, in both SWIR and VIS-SWIR as well as a High Speed version (up to 350Hz). All come with powerful Image Analysis Software (XCAP) and a standard CameraLink frame grabber (EPIX).
