Photonic Lattice FLIR - Model X6981 SLS / X6901sc SLS -High-speed infrared camera / Infrared Measurement Equipment
This high-speed infrared camera system leverages advanced infrared technology, offering superior speed and sensitivity for research and development applications. It caters to a wide range of new applications, such as high-speed temperature measurement, visualization of CO2 gas, and welding temperature analysis. The system includes a cooled infrared high-speed camera that minimizes thermal noise by cooling the image sensor to -190°C, enabling precise and rapid thermal imaging measurements. This technology allows accurate observation of swift phenomena, such as temperature changes during tensile tests or laser processing. Furthermore, it detects minimal temperature variations, which facilitates evaluating semiconductor chips during operation or identifying temperature inconsistencies in liquids. The system also excels in detecting invisible gases like CO2, methane, and others by leveraging spectral filtering techniques. This capability is especially valuable for differentiating gases like CO2 from water vapor, enhancing its utility in various industrial and scientific domains.
The FLIR X6981 SLS / X6901sc SLS is an extraordinarily fast, highly sensitive LWIR camera designed for scientists, researchers, and engineers. The strained layer superlattice (SLS) detector offers shorter snapshot speeds, wider temperature bands, and better uniformity than current LWIR or MWIR alternatives. With advanced triggering, on-camera RAM/SSD recording, and a four-position motorized filter wheel, this camera offers the functionality to stop motion on high-speed events both in the lab and at the test range.
With our cooled infrared high-speed camera, thermal noise is reduced to the utmost limit by cooling the image sensor to -190°C, enabling high-precision, high-speed thermal imaging measurements, that have been difficult to achieve in the past.
This makes it possible to accurately measure high-speed phenomena, such as the temperature rise at the moment of breakage in a tensile test, the temperature rise of a workpiece during laser processing, or the temperature measurement of a high-speed moving object. Also, by detecting extremely small temperature changes with high precision, it is possible to evaluate, for example, the temperature rise of a semiconductor chip during operation or temperature irregularities in a liquid during temperature rise.
By visualizing invisible gases such as CO2, methane, ethane, ethanol, toluene, etc., one could detect and quantify leakages from pipes, exhalation flow, or characterize bare air flow using CO2; gas as an inexpensive tracer.
A particular concern when visualizing CO2 is that it is generally difficult to distinguish from water vapor.
On the other hand, CO2 cameras can discriminate gases by spectrally filtering infrared absorption at specific wavelengths.
In the 4.3 micron wavelength band, CO2 is much more absorptive than water vapor, so this concern can be overcome.
