SUI introduces InGaAs-SWIR video camera with high frame rate ROI windowing
May 24, 2007, Princeton, NJ--Sensors Unlimited, Inc. (SUI) is introducing two additional cameras in the KTS product line -- the SU320KTSW-1.7RT indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) SWIR Windowing Camera and the SU320KTSWVis-1.7RT Visible-InGaAs SWIR Windowing Camera. The innovative, low-cost windowing video cameras feature both snapshot and high frame rate region-of-interest (ROI) windowing capabilities, enabling tracking of free-space communications lasers or fast-moving targets. SUI's 320KTSW imager provides high response in the shortwave infrared region from 0.9 micron to 1.7 micron and the 320KTSWVis extends the wavelength response into the visible from 0.4 micron to 1.7 micron.
The all-solid-state KTS family of cameras features a 320 x 256 pixel format on a 25 micron pitch, low power (less than 2 W at 20 degrees C), on-board non-uniformity corrections (NUCs) and advanced AGC (automatic gain control) with contrast image enhancements. The KTS windowing camera configurations include 8 corrected modes with variable integration time and 8 preset ROI windows for convenient, easy operation. The intuitive serial commands over the 12-bit Camera Link interface are used to create ROI windows anywhere on the FPA.
Ideal for real-time tracking (greater than 10,000 frames per second for a 16 x 16 pixel window) and aligning, the windowing models are easy-to-integrate and excellent for adaptive optics feedback systems, machine vision of moving objects and hyperspectral imaging tasks. The cameras include a C-mount lens adapter and are available as an OEM imaging engine (less than 3.8 in³) or in an enclosed camera (less than 9.3 in³).
