Description
The Owl 1280 VIS-SWIR Digital Camera by Raptor Photonics is a cutting-edge imaging solution designed to deliver exceptional high-resolution and high-sensitivity performance in the visible to short-wave infrared (VIS-SWIR) spectrum. Engineered with precision, this camera is ideal for those demanding the best in HD VIS-SWIR imaging capabilities. Its advanced technology enables superior imaging from 0.4µm to 1.7µm, making it a preferred choice for applications requiring detailed and clear visuals even in challenging light conditions.
At the heart of the Owl 1280 is its impressive 1280 x 1024-pixel resolution with a 10µm pitch, ensuring high-definition images with remarkable clarity. The camera's low readout noise of less than 35 electrons further enhances its ability to capture fine details, even in low-light environments. This feature, combined with its on-board Automated Gain Control (AGC) and Intelligent 3-point Non-Uniformity Correction (NUC), guarantees optimal image quality across various lighting situations.
The Owl 1280 VIS-SWIR Digital Camera is built with an InGaAs PIN-Photodiode sensor, offering peak quantum efficiency of over 85%. This ensures that the camera maximizes the capture of available light, providing superior image quality. With a programmable frame rate of up to 60Hz and a global shutter mode, the camera is versatile enough to meet the needs of both fast-paced and static imaging scenarios. Compact and efficient, the Owl 1280 is designed for easy integration into a wide range of systems, making it an invaluable tool for professionals seeking excellence in VIS-SWIR imaging.
