Extended shortwave infrared camera for military and industrial applications introduced by Princeton Infrared
MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. – Princeton Infrared Technologies Inc. (PIRT) in Monmouth Junction, N.J., are introducing the 1280BPCam extended shortwave infrared (SWIR) response camera for laser beam profiling for defense, industrial, and medical applications.
The indium gallium arsenide and gallium arsenide antimonide (InGaAs/GaAsSb) type-II super lattice (T2SL) detector features 1280 by 1024 pixels on a 12-micron array pitch that delivers 90 frames per second at full resolution.
The extended wavelength response of the T2SL material plus the three-stage thermoelectric cooler (TEC) enable high camera sensitivity from 400 to 2050 nanometers, making it possible to image from the visible out to the SWIR spectrum with one imager. The high-resolution imagers are fabricated on 100-millimeter substrates for low-cost production.
The 1280BPCam's advanced focal plane array is integrated in the camera, generates 14-bit pixel data at high resolution, and transfers by a medium camera link interface.
Other notable features of this military and industrial SWIR camera include snapshot exposure, selectable trigger modes, and user-selectable regions of interest. Integration times range from 50 microseconds to greater than 16 milliseconds.
The camera offers less than 275e-read noise, high dynamic range of greater than 1000:1, plus greater than 20 percent quantum efficiency for 1.9 microns.
