C-RED 2 ER Extended SWIR Camera
Extended SWIR camera on 640x512 ER-InGaAs detectors with sensitivity shifted to 1.9 um or 2.2 um, 600 fps full frame.
Description
C-RED 2 ER is a highly sensitive extended SWIR camera based on a VGA (640 x 512 pixels) ER-InGaAs detector array. The camera offers framerates up to 600 Hz. The C-RED 2 ER camera can support two detectors with shifted sensitivity up to 1.9 micrometres and to 2.2 micrometres.
C-RED 2 ER is a highly sensitive extended InGaAs camera series for extended SWIR imaging and opens new imaging and sensing opportunities for life science, research, laser measurements, and industrial applications.
The detectors are VGA (640 x 512 pixels) with a 15 micrometre pixel pitch for high resolution, and with peak quantum efficiency above 70%. All models are able to run at 600 fps full frame, and up to 32066 fps in cropping mode. In addition, all models have an integrated two-stage thermoelectric cooler, which enables a cooling capability up to 60 C.
C-RED 2 ER 1.9 um and C-RED 2 ER 2.2 um are complementary to C-RED 2 in terms of sensitivity, as they cover the high end of the SWIR spectrum. The C-RED 2 ER 1.9 um achieves a readout noise below 50 e- while the C-RED 2 ER 2.2 um readout noise is below 40 e-.
