Sofradir reveals its new IRE-320S IR Imaging Engine
The high performance MCT-based SWIR camera has a 4-stage TE-cooled infrared detector and offers unique flexibility to meet the needs of any application or OEM requirement.
French firm Sofradir is introducing its new IRE-320S Infrared Imaging Engine. Based on a thermo-electrically cooled MCT infrared detector, the IRE-320S exhibits very high performance infrared imaging for short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral range 0.75-2.5 μm with remarkable quantum efficiency (>90%).
Because of its versatility, the IRE-320S engine is ideal for easy integration into a wide range of SWIR imaging systems, delivering exceptional infrared imaging sensitivity and spectral performance.
The IRE-320S harnesses the full performance of the Sofradir Mars SW, a Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) 4-stage TE-cooled infrared detector while offering unique flexibility to meet the needs of any application or OEM requirement.
Full frame rate is adjustable from 1 to 200 Hz and the integration time can be controlled for 3µs to 20ms (independently). Connectivity and interface logic are industry standards with NTSC/PAL video or 14-bit digital data for either uncorrected or corrected configuration modes. Camera communication occurs through a serial (RS-232) interface.
14-bit digital data can be streamed via LVDS or through optional Camera Link and/or Gigabit Ethernet. An IRIG time stamp capability is available as an option. The camera features a C-mount for lenses and camera customisations to meet any requirement. In addition, Sofradir is also offering a variety of software developer toolkits and command software modules for further flexibility.
