New Shortwave Infrared Camera Comes with VGA Sensor
Press Release Summary:
- Features spectral response ranging from 1.0 µm to 1.65 µm with more than 99.5% operability and greater than 70% quantum efficiency
- Offers triggering options of sync-in (low-latency see-spot and range-gating) and sync-out, user-defined integration time of 0.1µs (minimum) and global shutter imaging mode
- Includes onboard processing with non-uniformity corrections (NUCs) and bad pixel replacement
Original Press Release:
Attollo Engineering Introduces Low-SWaP, Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) Camera with 5 µm Pixel Pitch
• Revolutionary InGaAs SWIR camera features smallest VGA sensor available.
Camarillo, Calif. – May 26, 2020 – Attollo Engineering (www.attolloengineering.com), global engineering experts and suppliers of infrared imaging solutions, LiDAR/LADAR, and laser sensing, introduces the Phoenix, a 640 x 512 shortwave infrared (SWIR) camera with the industry’s smallest VGA sensor and an extremely small 5 µm pixel pitch. The revolutionary sensor is ideally suited for broadband imaging as well as daylight and nighttime laser see-spot and range-gated imaging.
The cost-efficient, miniature indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) uncooled SWIR camera is ideal for integration into small gimbals and other low size, weight, and power (low-SWaP) devices, such as handheld, helmet- and soldiermounted systems. Other applications include machine vision, precision agriculture, driver vision enhancement (DVE), covert illuminated imaging, and laser designator imaging and decode (with separate Attollo laser event detector module). Attollo Phoenix also offers significant cost savings at the system level when compared to competitive SWIR cameras.
The high-performance, InGaAs, 640 x 512, 5 µm pixel pitch SWIR camera’s spectral response ranges from 1.0 µm to 1.65 µm with more than 99.5% operability and greater than 70% quantum efficiency. Selectable frame rates include 30 Hz, 60 Hz, 120 Hz, and 220 Hz, with windowing available. The Phoenix has a global shutter imaging mode, and presets and user-defined integration time of 0.1µs (minimum), plus triggering options of sync-in (low-latency see-spot and range-gating) and sync-out. Other specifications include onboard processing with non-uniformity corrections (NUCs) and bad pixel replacement.
