PentaVacâ„¢ Vacuum Technology: Scientific CCD Applications
5/28/2020
CCD imaging sensors are used extensively in high-end imaging applications, enabling acquisition of quantitative images with both high (spatial) resolution and high sensitivity. There are some photon-starved applications which require even these highly sensitive devices to be used with both long integration (exposure) times and high amounts of binning (on-chip charge summation) in order to obtain a detectable signal. For these type of applications the CCD sensor must be deep cooled in order to reduce the noise component associated with dark signal. PentaVac™ Technology from Raptor Photonics is available for a range of sensor types and formats, with a range of TECs and cooling methods which can be tailored for specific application requirements.

Xeva-1.7-320 Brochure: SWIR Imaging Camera for Advanced Research
5/16/2018
Xenics’ Xeva-1.7-320 digital camera combines a thermo-electrically cooled InGaAs detector head and the control and communication electronics in a compact housing. Single or three-stage Peltier cooling reduces the noise and dark current for enhanced low light-level imaging. The Xeva-1.7-320 combines standard (up to 1.7 µm) InGaAs detector arrays with various speed versions: 60 Hz, 100 Hz and 350 Hz. This allows you to choose the most suitable detector-camera configuration for applications including SWIR microscopy, hyperspectral imaging, laser beam profiling, low-light level imaging, semiconductor inspection, and medical applications.
