Raptor and Cinogy to market InGaAs SWIR laser
The indium gallium arsenide laser is suited to semiconductor inspection, airborne hyperspectral imaging, active imaging and 1.55μm laser line detection
Raptor Photonics has entered into an agreement with German company Cinogy to market a SWIR (Short wave infrared) laser beam profiler.

The VISIBLE SWIR camera, the OW1.7-VS-CL-320 features a 320 x 256 pixel, 30μm x 30μm pixel pitch, high sensitivity InGaAs sensor with visible extension.
The camera is peltier cooled, uses a 14 bit A/D converter and offers a standard CameraLink output. It features Automatic Gain Control (AGC), image enhancement and built-in 3 points non-uniformity correction (NUC). It enables users to capture images from the visible to the Short Wave Infrared range: (0.4μm to 1.7μm) with 500ns to 1/fps exposure time.
The OWL camera is best suited to the Visible-SWIR range and is ideal for pulsed or CW laser beam profiling, semiconductor inspection, airborne hyperspectral imaging, active imaging and 1.55μm laser line detection. It comes with Image Analysis Software (XCAP) and a standard CameraLink frame grabber (EPIX).
Olivier Bernard, Sales Director at Raptor comments, “Raptor has been offering a SWIR camera for the past few years. The OWL offers scientific grade sensitivity and speed, but in a very compact, rugged and low power consumption industrial grade package."
“We have had a lot of interest from a range of applications, laser beam profiling being one of them. We manufacture OEM camera solutions so we were looking to work with a specialist in Laser Beam Profiling. So we were delighted to develop this in conjunction with Cinogy. Our combined products offer a very exciting seamless solution for laser / diode engineers working in this area”, he continues.
Andy Kaemling, Product Manager at Cinogy adds, “We are very excited to team up with Raptor to offer this solution. They provide a fantastic SWIR camera and we provide a “best in market” beam profiling solution. Our RayCi software allows users to drive the Raptor camera and to analyse beam profiles in under two minutes. It is available as a 32 Bit / 64 Bit version and offers multiple beam profilers support. As well as pixel correction technology, the software offers real-time beam parameter and beam position control and real-time beam width and statistic determination. There is an automatic beam quality M2 tool and the software enables graphical visualisations and analysis functions”.
Raptor Photonics Limited is a manufacturer of rugged ultra low light digital & analogue cameras. The firm specialises in complete cameras and core engine solutions using CCD, EMCCD, Scientific CMOS and SWIR sensor technology. The low light capability of Raptor’s cameras makes them ideal for day/night surveillance, homeland security and scientific markets.
Cinogy specialises in the research & development, manufacturing and sales of products in laser beam profiling.
