Description
Specially designed for short exposure times applications, C-RED 3 is the fastest VGA uncooled camera for short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging.
C-RED 3 is using a TEC-less 640 x 512 InGaAs PIN Photodiode detector with 15 μm pixel pitch for high resolution, which embeds an electronic shutter with integration pulses shorter than 1 μs.
Operating from 0.9 to 1.7 µm, C-RED 3 is also capable of windowing down for higher frame rate. Multiple on-board functionalities are offered such as user configurations, NUC tables, adaptive bias and HDR mode.
Autonomous, ultra compact and perfect for stable temperature environments, C-RED 3 expands the C-RED family, offering a solution for every application and every budget.
C-RED 3 can also be supplied as OEM. Some applications include free space optical telecommunications (FSO), wavefront sensing camera, laser guide star, high-speed imaging, tracking etc.
