Digital camera maker Raptor Photonics has launched an additional member to its family of Visible SWIR cameras with the OWL 1280, offering HD resolution for high-end, long-range surveillance, scientific and astronomy applications.
Using a cooled 1280 x 1024 InGaAs sensor from SCD, the OWL 1280 offers visible extension from 0.4µm to 1.7µm to enable high sensitivity imaging. The 10µm x 10µm pixel pitch enables the high resolution imaging. The camera will also offer 2 x 2 binning to become 640 x 512, 20 um pitch for low-light vision and high-speed applications. It will offer less than 35 electrons readout noise, combined with low dark current reading. The camera will offer ultra-high intrascene dynamic range of 70dB, enabling simultaneous capture of bright and dark portions of a scene.
Available with a 14 bit CameraLink output, the OWL 1280 will run from 10 up to 60Hz. The camera will feature On-board Automated Gain Control (AGC), which will enable a contrast image from low light to bright as well as an on-board intelligent 3-point Non Uniform Correction (NUC) algorithm. The OWL 1280 is low power at < 3W. It also offers cooling with no fan.
The camera comed with a range of analysis software including XCAP and Micromanager and a standard CameraLink frame grabber (EPIX).
