Using colloidal quantum dot (CQD) technology, SWIR Vision Systems has developed a 6MP SWIR and e-SWIR FPA. The uncooled 3072-by-2048-pixel sensor uses a 7µm pitch to balance sensor size, signal-to-noise, and on-chip capabilities. The 6MP sensors also leverage an improved fabrication process, resulting in a 2-3X increase in QE over the existing CQD product line.
The uncooled 6MP focal planes will be integrated into two distinct camera formats: fixed platform and DSLR. Both types accommodate C and M42 lens mounts, feature 100Hz speeds with 12-bit resolution, and will be offered in standard SWIR and extended SWIR ranges (400-1700 nm and 350-2100 nm, respectively).
The fixed platform format features a reduced footprint, CoaXPress or 10GigE interfaces, and GenICam compliance. The DSLR format is a battery-powered DSLR-style camera that includes a touchscreen, image and video capture, and onboard storage. For outdoor use, this camera will be IP65 rated and ruggedized.
