NIT SenS HiPe Long Exposure SWIR Camera

SenS HiPe Long-Exposure TE-Cooled VGA SWIR Camera

The SenS HiPe is a long-exposure InGaAs SWIR camera designed for low-light imaging, scientific research, microscopy, spectroscopy-related imaging, laser analysis, and demanding short-wave infrared measurements. The camera combines a 640 × 512 VGA sensor, 15 µm pixels, thermoelectric cooling, exposure times from 10 µs up to approximately 110 seconds, and compact integration for microscope benches and optical systems.

Long-exposure, TE-cooled VGA InGaAs SWIR camera for low-light imaging and scientific applications.

Long Exposure SWIR Imaging

The SenS HiPe camera is designed for applications where the SWIR signal level is low and longer exposure times are required. Exposure can be adjusted from short integration times for brighter scenes to long exposures for weak-signal measurements.

TE-Cooled Sensor

Thermoelectric cooling reduces dark signal and improves stability for low-light SWIR imaging. With TEC2 and internal air cooling, the camera can operate with the focal plane array temperature as low as approximately -20°C.

Compact Integration

The compact form factor makes the SenS HiPe well suited for microscope benches, optical experiments, spectroscopy setups, laboratory instruments, and OEM SWIR imaging systems.

SenS HiPe Overview

The SenS HiPe SWIR camera is optimized for low-light and long-exposure imaging applications. It uses a VGA-format InGaAs detector with 640 × 512 pixels and 15 µm pixel pitch. The camera supports exposure times from approximately 10 µs to 110 seconds, allowing users to image both brighter SWIR scenes and weak-signal phenomena that require extended integration.

The HiPe SenS is useful for scientific imaging, SWIR microscopy, semiconductor and materials inspection, laser-related imaging, photonics research, and laboratory measurements where sensitivity, stability, and compact mechanical integration are important.

Why Choose the SenS HiPe?

Software and Interface Options

Pembroke Instruments can help match the SenS HiPe interface and software workflow to the application. USB3.0 configurations are appropriate for many laboratory and R&D applications where direct PC acquisition, camera control, image export, and SDK integration are needed. Camera Link configurations are appropriate when a frame grabber or machine-vision integration architecture is preferred.

Interface Typical Use Software / SDK Notes
USB 3.0 Laboratory imaging, microscopy, R&D, and PC-based acquisition WiDyVISION / NITVision GUI and C++ SDK support
Camera Link Frame-grabber integration, machine vision, instruments, and OEM systems Use when Camera Link acquisition hardware and integration workflow are preferred
