Princeton Infrared Technologies (PIRT), an imaging technology specialist, will be showcasing its revolutionary, compact MVCam series shortwave-infrared (SWIR) and visible camera at the upcoming SPIE BiOS and Photonics West 2020 events. Princeton will be premiering the product at SPIE BiOS in its Booth #8051 from February 1-2, and at Photonics West in Booth #3180 from February 4 – 6.

The MVCam supports the highest commercially-available frame rate at megapixel resolution with no ITAR restrictions. The megapixel indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) camera provides 1280 x 1024 resolution SWIR imagery at up to 95 frames per second (fps), with higher frame rates for user-selectable regions of interest (ROI). At 12 µm pixel pitch, the MVCam InGaAs image sensor yields extremely low dark current and high quantum efficiency, providing sensitivity across the SWIR and visible wavelength bands from 0.4 to 1.7 µm. The standard camera configuration uses a single-stage thermoelectric cooler (with no moving parts), integrated into a sealed package to stabilize the image sensor at 20°C.

MVCam’s advanced digital array (PIRT1280A1-12) generates 14-bit digital image data with no image lag and read noise less than 45 e-, which is lower than all other industrial SWIR cameras. The camera uses Medium configuration Camera Link to output the video imagery at the full data rate of 95 fps. Base Camera Link can also be used at lower frame rates. Princeton Infrared Technologies’ MVCam is ideal for high-resolution machine vision and microscopy applications.
