UTC Sensors Unlimited Compact Linescan 1024-LDM InGaAs Camera, 1024 pixels at 45,956 lps

The 1024-LDM Linescan Camera finds problems such as mis-alignment, occlusions, inclusions or cracks; before the expense of further processing of ICs or solar cells. High-speed imaging of free-falling molten glass gobs, agricultural raw materials, or pharmaceutical mixes also benefit from the camera’s flexible line rates of up to 45,956 lps. Only 2.4 inches in depth, the mechanical design gives system integrators the flexibility to fit the camera inside their inspection machines. The LDM provides 14-bit digital capture into base-format Camera Link® interface cards, while providing dynamic ranges up to 4500:1. A photoetch mask sharply defines the array’s 25-µm aperture, ensuring high time and spatial resolution; the alternate 500-µm pixel height trades time resolution for increased sensitivity in photoluminescence imaging.

Features:

• High quantum efficiency and dynamic range
• Integrate-while-read snapshot acquisition
• Predefined line rates from 80 to 45,956 lps user programmable
• Wavelength response over 0.8 µm to 1.7 µm
• 1024 x 25-µm pixel pitch with the aperture heights of 25 or 500 µm
• 14-bit base Camera Link® compatible
• Operating temperature range of -10 to +50°C
• Light-tight mount for spectrometers
• Mounts easily to optics benches or MV systems with tripod, front or side fastener hole patterns
• Optional adapters for F-mount or C-mount, lenses (C-mount lenses may not fully illuminate the full width of the 25.6 mm wide arrays)

Applications:

• Inspection through polished silicon wafers or blocks
• Machine vision for ultra-high speed inspection, materials classification, sorting and/or monitoring of continuous processes, for example for food or agricultural product sorting
• Fast absorption or emission spectroscopy for combustion research, moisture, lipids, proteins or other molecular vibration bands in the 0.8 µm-1.7 µm range
