Shortwave IR Cameras target industrial and military uses.
Press Release Summary:
Weighing less than 90 g, InGaAs SU320KTX-1.7RT Cameras are designed for low-light conditions and day/night operation as well as imaging in partial starlight to direct sun illumination. Available as OEM imaging module or enclosed in housing, camera packages include C-mount lens adapter and lens. Units deliver real-time 12-bit video images in 900-1,700 nm wavelength with 320 x 240 pixel format on 40 micron pitch focal plane array.
Original Press Release:
SUI Now Shipping Compact, High Sensitivity Shortwave IR KTX Cameras in OEM Quantities
PRINCETON, NJ, September 26,2006- SUI, part of Goodrich Corporation (formerly Sensors Unlimited, Inc.) oss.goodrich.com/sui, a pioneer of shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging sensors and camera systems, is now shipping the ultra-compact and lightweight (less than 90g) SU320KTX-1.7RT cameras in volume quantities. Originally developed for the U. S. Army's Soldier Mobility and Rifle Targeting System, the miniature KTX is now available for both industrial and military applications. The indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) shortwave infrared camera is designed for low-light conditions and day/night operation, imaging in partial starlight to direct sun illumination.
Available as either an OEM imaging module (<3.8 in.³) or enclosed in a robust housing (<10.1 in.³), both camera packages include a C-mount lens adapter and lens. SUI's KTX delivers clear, real-time video images with the highest sensitivity available in the 900 nm to 1700 nm wavelength with a 320 x 240 pixel format on a 40-micron pitch focal plane array. It offers 12-bit images and wide dynamic range for image processing and transmission via EIA-170 and Camera Link® digital output.
The high quantum efficiency SWIR KTX camera is suitable for all low-light-level imaging tasks including imaging spectroscopy, astronomy, covert and fixed-site surveillance, laser applications, emission microscopy and machine vision systems. Shipping now in OEM quantities, the KTX is also ideal for easy integration into unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, robotic, portable and other handheld systems.
SUI, part of Goodrich Corporation (formerly Sensors Unlimited, Inc.) has pioneered the design and production of shortwave infrared components, cameras and systems utilizing advanced indium gallium arsenide imaging technology for industrial, commercial, military, agricultural and biomedical markets.
