Product information "LUXELL Series Linear Array MWIR Cameras"

Detector Type Linear Array PbSe FPA; Spectral Range 1.0-5.0 µm; Pixel Size 600x60 µm; 256 Pixels; Resolution 1x256; Max. Line Rate 500 lps; Interface USB 2.0

New Infrared Technologies’ (NIT) LUXELL Series of line array MWIR (midwave infrared) cameras provide line rates of up to 300 lps (lines per second) at 1×256 pixels resolution – in uncooled operation.

The LUXELL CAMERA-S with IP67-rated housing is the plug-and-play industrial version featuring a USB 2.0 interface and industrial connector. The lens, with f/35 mm and CS-mount optical interface, is IP67-rated as well. The camera includes the LUXELL software suite and a development kit for LabVIEW. This ready-to-use system is well suited for the development of affordable solutions and integration in the customer’s production line.

The LUXELL CAMERA-S is based on the linear scanning array LUXELL CORE-S, an electronic module based on a microcontroller architecture, which includes the linear, 1x256 pixels LUXELL FPA (Focal Plane Array), 2-channel readout electronics (300 lines per second max), USB 2.0 output, and a powerful software suite and SDK for LabVIEW.

Though not housed in an industrial case, the LUXELL CORE-S module also is functionally plug and play, ready to read the FPA signal and ideal for the development of very cost-effective solutions based on the LUXELL FPA. With dimensions of 56 mm x 40 mm x 29.5 mm (without connector), the compact-size LUXELL CORE-S module enables full integration in Industry 4.0 applications and factories of future production lines.

For larger and two-dimensional array cameras from New Infrared Technologies, please refer to the TACHYON series of high-speed imaging MWIR cameras. And for applications requiring single-pixel MWIR detection, have a look at NIT’s LEPTON series of single-pixel VPD PbS MWIR detectors.

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.
