PIRT - Model MVCam Series -SWIR Camera for Machine Vision

This megapixel InGaAs SWIR camera provides 1280x1024 resolution shortwave infrared (SWIR) imagery at up to 90 frames per second (fps), with higher frame rates for user selectable regions of interest (ROI). With 12 µm pixel pitch, the MVCam InGaAs image sensor yields extremely low dark current and high quantum efficiency providing sensitivity across the SWIR and visible wavelength bands from 0.4 to 1.7 µm. The standard SWIR camera configuration uses a single stage thermoelectric cooler integrated in a sealed package to stabilize the image sensor at 20°C with no moving parts like a cooling fan.

MVCam’s advanced digital array (PIRT1280A1-12) generates 14-bit digital image data with no image lag and read noise less than 90 e-, which is lower than all other industrial SWIR cameras. The SWIR camera uses medium configuration Camera Link™ to output the video imagery at the full data rate of 90 fps. Base Camera Link™ can also be used at lower frame rates. Princeton Infrared Technologies’ MVCam SWIR Camera is the ideal SWIR camera for high resolution machine vision and microscopy SWIR applications.
