QI-SCD15-M1 High-Performance Shortwave Infrared Camera Features
QI-SCD15-M1 with standard housing Overview The QI-SCD15-M1 camera is a high-sensitivity VIS-SWIR camera with extended spectral range from 0.5um to 1.7um. The camera uses a 640x512 format InGaAs detector with 15um x 15um pixel pitch and integral antiblooming. On-board correlated double sampling delivers a dynamic range in excess of 70dB with read noise of less than 40 rms electrons making it ideal for light-starved applications (Total noise including dark current is typically 60 e-rms). Available with both 16 bit CameraLinkTM and analog NTSC output, the QI-SCD15-M1 will run from 30 FPS to 120FPS depending upon factory configuration. Automatic gain and exposure control are available to optimize image quality over a large range of imaging conditions, and a proprietary, adaptive 3-point non-uniformity correction provides high quality imagery over -40°C to +70°C operating conditions. The QI-SCD15-M1 also offers the unique ability to operate in either a conventional SWIR imaging mode, or in Asynchronous Laser Pulse Detection (ALPD). In ALPD mode, the detector serves as a two dimensional sensor capable of capturing short duration laser pulses and providing the x-y position of those pulses in both daytime and night-time operation. Multiple asynchronous spots can exist simultaneously in the same field of view making the QI-SCD15-M1 ideal for see-spot operations. Noise and image stability is optimized using proprietary thermal stabilization techniques, and system performance is assured though 100% qualification testing of each production unit. Full characterization data sets including mean-variance and noise equivalent irradiance plots are provided with each camera delivered. The QI-SCD15-M1 camera is available in the standard, miniaturized camera housing shown above. Alternatively, the same camera is available in a modular QI-SCD15-FLEX configuration allowing the camera to be used in applications where space claims are tight or unusually shaped.
640x512 resolution, 30-120 fps (29.97FPS in NTSC mode) 15-bit digitization Low read noise of <40 e- rms Imaging or ALPD Mode Extended spectral response from 0.5um to 1.7um Snapshot image capture (to avoid rolling shutter artifact) Programmable operation (NUC, AGC, Trigger, ALPD) Camera Link and RS-170 analog output Mil-spec environment Internal “free running” mode or external trigger configurable Standard camera housing or modular (flex configuration) design Benefits Low power with configurable cooling set-point to optimize power/performance. Low Image lag to eliminate image persistence issues Extended spectral range increases sensitivity and allows for imaging of shorter wavelength illuminators Compact size of standard camera fits small space claims Flex Configuration adapts to very tight or unusually shaped OEM space claims ALPD mode allows for “see-spot” operations in all lighting conditions with multiple, asynchronous laser sources Applications
