SWIR Cameras

sens 1280- megapixel camera

WiDy SenS 1280 is the newest member of NIT SWIR InGaAs camera series. This camera provides a high resolution of 1280x1024px @10µm pixel pitch, a high sensitivity with a typical  RON < 27 e- while preserving linear response.

sens-640m-ste-VGA Cameralink

The SenS camera platform is unique in performance vs. standard SWIR InGaAs cameras. This SenS sensor supports dual light response modes: linear response for low light sensitivity (two software selectable gains) and wide dynamic range (WDR) when light levels are higher. No other SWIR camera provides such superb image quality over a

sens hipe long exposure camera

With TEC2 & air-cooled operating mode, the HiPe SenS is designed for low light, long exposure time applications (from 10us to 112s). It can operate with an FPA temperature as low as -20°C only with internal air cooling.  Also, the camera is easy for integration to microscope benches or any other optical devices, thanks to the small form factor.

Semiconductor Wafer Quality Inspection

Our SWIR cameras are used by leading semiconductor companies for wafer inspection and defect detection in materials transparent to light in 900-2900 nm range.

SWIR camera models best aligned for this market include the sens 640v-st, sens 1280, sens 640m-ste, and  sens 640g-ste

Our c-mount swir cameras can easily attach to popular microscopes and we can configure a complete SWIR microscope (including illumination) based on your exact requirements.

Laser Tracking and Laser Applications

Our SWIR camera product family includes specific models that are very well aligned for demanding laser applications, including:

• Laser communications
• Laser Tracking – up to 10 kHz
• Laser alignment & Beam Profiling
• Active Imaging

Many of our SWIR cameras support fast gating (100 nanoseconds) which is essential for applications involving pulsed lasers. We support laser tracking applications where there is and is not a trigger signal from the laser control module. Laser profiling is an important application and for many of our cameras you can purchase a camera without a sensor window or with an AR coated window to mitigate fringing effects.

Suggested models for laser applications include the 640v-stp, 640m-stp, 640g-stp

Security and Surveillance

Being able to keep at all times a clear situational awareness in harsh environmental conditions, day and night can make a huge difference when defending or protecting people.  Our SWIR imaging solutions are specified in OEM military programs and security systems.

• Surveillance in difficult weather conditions
• Gated Imaging
• Night Vision

Suggested SWIR camera models for surveillance include: sens 640v-st, sens 1280, sens sens-640m-ste, and  sens 640g-ste

Life Science Imaging and Microscopy

SWIR opens new opportunities for deep tissue imaging for In-vivo applications. Traditionally, for deep tissue imaging ionizing radiation is used (X-ray and Y-ray) but poses some risks to biological tissue.

Photoluminescence Imaging is preferred, using fluorescent Dye and excitation laser.
Traditionally Visible and NIR band have been used:

• Visible band (400-650nm) is used only for superficial tissues (strong scattering and absorption).
• NIR band or NIR1 (850-900nm) has been used in the last 20 years.

SWIR or NIR2 (1300-1400nm) has the following advantages:

1. Stronger transmission than NIR band
2. Lower scattering
3. Commercially available and FDA approved dyes show strong emission in the NIR2 band.

We can configure microscopes for your live animal imaging or fluorescence imaging application.

Suggested SWIR cameras for these types of application include: sens-hipe   sens 640v-st, sens 1280,  sens-640m-ste, and  sens 640g-ste
