Photonfocus' newly-developed 3rd-gen NIR CMOS cameras

The MV1-D1312I-40-CL and MV1-D1312I-160-CL: Photonfocus' two new monochrome cameras are equipped with all standard features needed for common applications while offering an outstanding image quality.

WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THE MV1-D13121-40/60?
--About the sensor--
Especially developed for NIR applications of up to 1100nm, the new A13121 image sensor series is designed and fabricated in a 0.35µm CMOS technology optimized for image sensors to achieve an outstanding sensitivity and peak efficiency. Excellent image quality is achieved with sensor resolution of 1312 x 1082, 8µm x 8µm square pixels and over 60% fill factor.

The A13121 CMOS sensor has an extended spectral range covering 350nm to 110 nm and, worth noting, is the remarkably high Near Infra Red responsivity (Quantum Efficiency ca. 30% at 1000nm).

--About frame rate--
Delivering at up to 110 fps at full resolution, a major benefit of the new camera is the possibility of further increasing the speed to thousands of frames-per-second by reducing the Region of Interest (ROI) by horizontal and vertical windowing. Irrespective of the frame rate, applications requiring sharp and smear-free images are possible with the fast global shutter of the new MV1-D1312I cameras.

--About capturing--
The cameras are able to start capturing a new image whilst outputting the current and so maximising the available exposure time and/or frame rate.

--About avoiding reflections--
Not having a cover glass on the new A13121 sensor makes it possible to reduce the number of elements in the optical path leading to a maximisation of the sensitivity, while avoiding internal reflections and associated image artefacts.
