High dynamic range InGaAs 900-1700 nm cameras
New Imaging Technologies developes and manufactures InGaAs sensors and infrared (IR) cameras using the patented logarithmic response technology HDR.
Thanks to that these cameras NIT-WiDy-SWIR and the miniature version NIT-WiDy-NaNo offer an unbeatable high dynamic range: 120 dB.
So you can see in the same scene both very bright and very dark areas: without changing the gain, in the same image.
They come with a 24-month warranty.
Key features of the NIT HDR InGaAs cameras (900-1700nm):
- 120dB dynamic range
- 900 - 1700 nm
- TECless
- Global shutter
- very low weight, size and consumption
- Analog, USB3.0, CameraLink or GigE interfaces
- resolution: 320x256px (píxel-pitch: 25 um2) or 640x512 (15 um2)
- "smart" versions with internal on-board processing (NUC, BPR & AGC)
- NIT-WiDy-Nano: ultra compact version without housing
Typical applications of the infrared (NIR - SWIR) cameras with InGaAs sensors:
- Photovoltaics, solar and semiconductor field
- Welding inspection
- Thermography
- Spectroscopy and microscopy, hyperspectral
-Inspection of electronic circuits and components
- IR imaging, specially low-light level and high speed
- NDT
- Laser beam profiling
- Laser science and medical imaging
- Drones, UAV, airborne: agriculture, mining, rescue,...
- Defense, security and surveillance, nicht vision
- Machine vision
