SWIR for Science
Key Features
The NIRvana® HS InGaAs focal plane array (FPA) SWIR camera is your versatile scientific imaging solution, delivering both high speed imaging and up to 60+ second exposure times. The NIRvana® HS also has the following key features:
- 900 – 1700nm SWIR / NIR-II
- Low Dark Current (<500e-)
- Image Quality Optimised
- 250fps at Full 640×512 Resolution
Deep Cooling That Lasts
Weak signals require a long exposure time to integrate. The primary challenge to low light imaging for SWIR cameras is exposure-time-dependent dark current noise. This can be reduced with camera cooling. However, some cameras on the market can only sustain their advertised cooling temperatures for a few minutes.
Though our industry-leading cooling and hermetic seal vacuum technology, the NIRvana® HS can sustain its -55°C sensor temperature over many hours. Combined with our lifetime guaranteed, zero maintenance vacuum, our cooling technology provides the reliability to keep your experiments running. Read our Technical Note on Thermal Management here.
Excellent Temporal Resolution
Capture high-speed events with incredible detail thanks to the 250fps full sensor frame rate, and 2 microsecond minimum exposure time. Combined with ultra-high precision hardware triggering, the NIRvana® HS is an excellent choice for semiconductor and photovoltaic failure analysis, and other high-speed applications.
