Sensors Unlimited – Goodrich ISR Systems, a division of Goodrich, has introduced a large-format InGaAs short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) snapshot video camera for solar applications.
The SU640KTS complies with the US Federal Communications Commission and Conformite Europeene (CE) standards for conducted and radiated emissions and for electrostatic discharge resistance.
Sensors Unlimited – Goodrich ISR Systems' large-format InGaAs short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) snapshot video camera, the SU640KTS.
The ultra-resolution and small imager operates at a speed of 30 fps from 0.9 to 1.7 µm and is a strong, uncooled 640×512-pixel range product with a pitch of 25 µm. It features adjustable automatic contrast improvement, nonconformity correction and automatic gain control. It provides Camera Link support and EIA-170 analog video output for 12-b digital imaging. By utilizing the Camera Link interface or through a separate EIA232 interface, additional camera controls and orders can be enabled.
The camera can operate at low powers of less than 2.5 W at 20 °C for a voltage range of 9 to 16. The camera comes with a C-mount lens adapter and is supplied with various options such as a Nikon 50-mm f/1.4 lens with an F-mount adapter, a SWIR-optimized 50-mm f/1.4 lens with the Goodrich 42-mm interface adapter and a C-mount 25-mm f/1.4 lens. It also comes with the National Instruments PCIe-1427 frame grabber card and an imaging pack comprising a 2-m Camera Link cable.
The SU640KTS is suitable for wafer analsysis, silicon block and silicon ingot. The camera can be used for machine vision of moving objects, inspection, sorting, hyper- and multi-spectral imaging and integrated circuit microscopy. Continuous or pulsed-wave laser beam profiling, full-field optical coherence tomography at 1.55, 1.31 and 1.04 µm and thermal imaging at over 150 °C via glass windows are some of the other applications of the camera.
