Sierra-Olympic Technologies, supplier of infrared (IR) and thermal imaging components, cameras, and systems solutions for advanced IR imaging applications, now offers New Imaging Technologies’ wide-dynamic-range, InGaAs shortwave infrared (SWIR) sensors and camera systems. The new SWIR imaging product family delivers a dynamic range greater than 140dB in a single snapshot, without any processing or tone mapping. It is Ideal for biomedical, laser measurement, welding, semiconductor and art inspection applications, as well as process control. The wide-dynamic-range sensors’ internal fixed pattern noise correction offers high uniformity images under all lighting conditions.
The new InGaAs photodiode array features a readout integrated circuit. Available in 640 x 512 (with 15-micron pitch) or 320 x 256 (with 25-micron pitch) pixel resolution; both operate in the SWIR spectrum from 900nm up to 1700nm with high quantum efficiency. Power consumption is less than 1.5W. By design, the readout integrated circuit has proven to be highly functional for fast, triggered imaging applications such as range-gated imaging and synchronous illuminated imaging.
New Imaging Technologies’ SWIR 640 and 320 camera modules offer digital video outputs in USB2.0 or Camera Link formats. Analogue NTSC/PAL video is available on the Smart version cameras. The SWIR family of cameras with wide dynamic range is delivered calibrated, with software and cables in shock-proof cases.
