LEPTON Series Single-pixel VPD PbSe MWIR Detectors

Product information "LEPTON Series Single-pixel VPD PbSe MWIR Detectors"

Wavelength Range 1.0-5.0 µm MWIR; Detector Size 1x1, 2x2 mm; Time Constant <2 µs; Responsivity 9x103, 4.5x103 V/W; Element Resistance 0.1-2.0 MΩ

New Infrared Technologies’ (NIT) LEPTON Series of single-pixel VPD PbSe MWIR detectors are available uncooled as well as with integrated TECs (thermoelectric cooling elements), with different geometries, packaging solutions and preamplifier boards. LEPTON Series single-pixel detectors come in two standard sizes: 1 mm × 1 mm or 2 mm × 2 mm.

LEPTON Series uncooled single-pixel PbSe MWIR detectors can be ordered packaged in SMD or TO-5 housings (with cap, hermetic) with sapphire window. These detectors are operational at room temperature and don’t require any cooling devices.

LEPTON Series cooled single-pixel PbSe MWIR detectors are hermetically packaged in a TO-8 can housing with cap and sapphire window and include one or two thermoelectric cooler (TEC) stages for higher sensitivity as well as a thermistor. A calibration curve for the thermistor is available.

NIT’s LEPTON Series also includes two low-noise preamplifier boards that are 5-V-powered via mini-USB connector: The LEPTON ANALOG PREAMP provides rotary switches to manually select the detector biasing voltage (4 steps from 1.25 V to 10 V) as well as the transimpedance gain (4 steps from 104 to 107 V/A). This preamp outputs a ±10 V analog voltage on a BNC connector. The LEPTON PREAMP WITH USB OUTPUT allows to digitally select the values for detector biasing voltage and transimpedance gain via software. Here, the output is a digital 14 Bit signal with a maximum sampling rate of 20 ksps. This preamp also features an analog output for the preamplifier stage on SMB or BNC connector.

For more pixels, linear and two-dimensional array MWIR cameras are available from New Infrared Technologies – please refer to the LUXELL series of linear array MWIR cameras and TACHYON series of high-speed imaging MWIR cameras respectively.

B-Series CMOS Cameras
0.36-5 MP; Pixel Size 2.2x2.2-6.0x6.0 µm; Sensor Size 1/3”-1/2” Diagonal; Colour or B/W; 3-310 fps; Resolution 8-12 bit; USB 2.0; Buffered; Progressive Scan; Dynamic Range >55-70 dB; Board-level or Enclosed Mightex’s B-Series USB 2.0 CMOS cameras with frame buffers are optimized for machine-vision applications, and they can also be used for a wide variety of other applications such as digital microscopy and medical imaging, where quality, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness are crucial. B-Series cameras are available as colour or B/W versions, with resolutions from Wide VGA (WVGA, 752x480) up to 5 MP (2592x1944) and 8, 10 or 12 bit, and they can be ordered as “naked” board-level device or pre-mounted in an enclosure. Monochrome cameras often exhibit a 20% higher spatial resolution than their colour counterparts because no pixel interpolation is necessary. Without a Bayer colour filter on the sensor, monochrome cameras are also more sensitive than colour sensors, especially in near IR and UV regions. Mightex’s B-Series cameras feature built-in frame buffers, global shutter (Wide VGA versions), external trigger-in, strobe-out, and a powerful camera engine that supports multiple cameras. The frame rate can be as high as 60 fps in full resolution and up to 600 fps using ROI mode (depending on colour or B/W and sensor resolution). In addition, a user-friendly GUI based application software and an SDK are provided for custom software development. A DirectShow driver and a TWAIN driver are included (except for 5 MP B/W versions), and a USB command set protocol is provided for non-Windows based applications. A Linux driver is also either included (5 MP and Wide VGA B/W versions) or available upon request.

In order to avoid electro-static discharge (ESD) related damages, workforce handling a board-level camera should be properly grounded. ESD related damages are considered as mishandling and are not covered by product warranty. For lab use, it is strongly recommended to choose an enclosed camera instead of a board-level one.
