InGaAs camera

C12741-11

The C12741-11 is a near-infrared camera which employs a 640 pixels × 512 pixels InGaAs sensor. -70 ˚C peltier cooling significantly reduces dark current which leads to improved image quality and allows imaging with long exposure time.
Unlike CCD or CMOS cameras, the C12741-11 can detect weak IR light with a high signal to noise ratio.

Features

  • Resolution: 640 pixels × 512 pixels
  • Low dark current with -70 °C peltier cooling (water cooling)
  • Interchangeable between forced-air/water cooling

Applications

  • Evaluation of semiconductor materials such as solar cells
  • Non-invasive imaging of small animals
  • Evaluation and analysis of optical communication devices
  • Astronomy

Software

Our software provides the interface to access all of our carefully engineered camera features, from simply setting exposure to orchestrating complex triggering for multidimensional experiments.
