UTC Sensors Unlimited High Speed Linescan 2048R InGaAs Camera, 2048 Pixels at 147 klps
The UTC Sensors Unlimited GL2048R camera delivers line capture rates of 10,000 to 147,000 lines per second for Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography while providing high QE in the 1 to 1.6 micron wavelength range. This 2048-pixel camera provides high-resolution imagery with 12-bit depth over the Medium Camera Link® digital interface. It can also be externally triggered over the interface to set both the line rate and exposure time via the frame grabber CC1 signal.
Features:
- 2048 x 1 pixel array with 10 µm pitch
- High QE from 0.99 µm to 1.65 µm
- Solid-state FPA with snapshot exposure
- User controlled exposure and line period
- Line rates from 9.5 k to >147 k-lps in 3 speed ranges
- >1590 : 1 dynamic range in low sensitivity >510:1 in high sensitivity
- External triggering of line and exposure via Camera Link CC1 line
- Enclosed body < 136 cm3 (< 8.3 in3 )
- Low power < 4 W over 6-12 V
- Acquires and saves user non-uniformity corrections
- Medium 12-bit Camera Link® interfaces
- Meets FCC and CE requirements for radiated and conducted emissions, for immunity from such emissions and for ESD resistance
- The GL2048L and R are compliant with EU RoHS Directives
Applications:
- Optical Coherence Tomography at: 1.04, 1.31, 1.55 µm
- High-resolution spectroscopy of intense spectra from .940 to 1680 nm
- SWIR Machine vision of moving objects
