Cooled IR Imaging Engines: SW, MW, LW and VLW IR

These high performance infrared imaging engines are based on cryogenically cooled MCT infrared detectors. A variety of models are available including short-wave SWIR (800nm - 2.5μm), mid-wave MWIR (3-5μm or 1.5-5µm), and long-wave LWIR (7.7-9.5μm or 7.7-11.5μm) models. Because of their versatility, these engines are ideal for easy integration into a wide range of electro-optical systems delivering exceptional sensitivity and spectral performance. The engines harness the full performance of the Sofradir IDDCAs while offering unique flexibility to meet the needs of any application or OEM requirement. Frame rate and integration time are adjustable. In addition, the camera permits detector sub-windowing at higher frame rates. Camera communication occurs through a serial 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. A variety of software developer toolkits (SDKs) and command software modules are available for further flexibility.
