SWIR for Science

NIRvana cameras are designed to give unprecedented performance for imaging in the SWIR wavelength range. The versatile scientific InGaAs cameras, deliver both high speed imaging with 100s of fps as well as ultra low dark noise for long exposures of extremely weak signals.
 

 

 

Key Features

The NIRvana® 640 SWIR camera has the sensitivity to match your challenging samples. With 85% QE and low noise over 10+ minute exposure times, the NIRvana® 640 will let you see the unseen. The NIRvana® 640 will let you see the unseen and has the following key features:

  • 900 – 1700 nm SWIR / NIR-II
  • Ultra-low dark current (<40e)
  • Deep cooling without liquid nitrogen
  • Optimised for long exposures

 

 

Powerful Infrared Sensitivity For Faint Samples

The NIRvana® 640 offers incredible sensitivity with greater than >85% Quantum Efficiency between 950 nm and 1500 nm, ensuring you collect every photon you can.

The biggest barrier to low light SWIR imaging is dark current. The NIRvana® 640 offers incredible low dark current – only 40e-/p/s, enabling longer exposures for faint samples.

 

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® 640 can sustain its -85C sensor temperature over many hours. Combined with our lifetime guaranteed, zero maintenance vacuum, our cooling technology provides the reliability to keep your experiments running.

See our Technical Note on Thermal Management.

 

 

 

Minimize Scene Noise

SWIR photons are everywhere. A significant source of unwanted noise in SWIR imaging is infrared photons from around the sample. The NIRvana® 640 features a proprietary cold shield, which blocks photons you don’t want, improving image quality.

The new InGaAs focal plane array detector has allowed our research group to easily extend our imaging spectroscopy techniques into the near-infrared regime. Combining a NIRvana with an eXcelon ProEM camera has enabled us to rapidly acquire 2D images from 400nm-1700nm on the same SP2300i spectrograph. Unlike other InGaAs 2D detectors we tested, the TE cooling and background subtraction features have allowed us to easily acquire long exposures to resolve photoluminescence from very dilute emitter samples.
