InGaAs Cameras For Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR): Goldeye Series
Allied Vision’s Goldeye cameras are short-wave infrared cameras (SWIR) featuring InGaAs sensor technology making them sensitive in the SWIR spectrum ranging from 900 nm to 1,700 nm. These cameras are available in the Goldeye G/CL-033 is a TECless InGaAs model and the Goldeye G/CL-008 Cool TEC1.
The Goldeye G/CL-033 is a TECless InGaAs camera that is most suited for demanding, and cost-sensitive short-wave infrared applications. In temperature-stable environments, the camera delivers high quality images with outstanding low noise performance. With up to 301 frames per second at full resolution, this camera is the fastest VGA resolution SWIR camera with Camera Link and GigE Vision interface. It also offers low power consumption of 6 W (<7.5 W with PoE) compared to more than 10W for a camera with a single-stage thermo-electric cooling element (TEC1).
The Goldeye G/CL-008 Cool TEC1 is ideal for applications with high temperature fluctuations. The camera is equipped with a nitrogen filled cooling chamber which encloses the sensor including the single-stage thermo-electric cooler (TEC1) to enable low-noise imaging in the spectral range from 900 nm to 1,700 nm. This avoids condensation on the sensor and makes the camera especially useful in warm and humid environments. The camera also features a controllable fan to further enhance the efficiency of the cooling.
