Uncooled InGaAs sCMOS camera
C-RED series for 0.9 µm to 1.7 µm from Oxford Instruments AndorSpecially designed for short exposure time applications, C-RED 3 is a very compact high-speed VGA uncooled camera for short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging.
C-RED 3 uses a 640 x 512 InGaAs PIN Photodiode detector with 15 μm pixel pitch for high resolution, which embeds a global shutter which allows exposure times shorter than 5 μs. The cooling system has been removed and electronics squeezed to give a low size, weight and power consumption camera. C-RED 3 offers high performances at short integration times. A patented adaptive bias allows to use the camera in any variable temperature environment.
The C-RED 2 Lite is a temperature stabilized VGA camera. The temperature of the InGaAs sensor is maintained at a constant level. The heat is dissipated by a larger camera body that can either be fitted with a passive heat sink or a cooling plate through which water flows. By that the dark current can be reduced and the useful dynamic range at long exposure time can be increased.
