Frequently Asked Questions

The LI3030SA is a CMOS sensor that delivers enhanced Near Infra-Red (NIR) detection, high sensitivity, and low-noise imaging performance, even in exceptionally low-light environments.

Enhanced NIR detection in the LI3030SA allows for more efficient conversion of photons with longer wavelengths into electrons, increasing quantum efficiency in the NIR region. This benefits applications requiring NIR detection by offering a cost-effective CMOS sensor solution that can detect both visible and NIR wavelengths.

The RGB-NIR color filter replaces one of the green filters in a standard Bayer filter with a Near Infra-Red (NIR) filter. This allows the sensor to separate visible and NIR wavelengths, simplifying dual sensor systems and enhancing current solutions detecting both NIR and visible wavelengths.

The Canon High Sensitivity Evaluation Kit allows integrators and end users to assess the performance of the LI3030SA sensor. It provides assets for image system designers to accelerate development time and features a camera with a pre-installed LI3030SA sensor, offering raw data output via USB 3.1 (Gen 1).

The Evaluation Kit features a USB 3.1 (Gen 1) interface for raw data serial output. It also has an open architecture design that allows developers to embed processing and software using the on-board ARM and FPGA.

The available filter types for the LI3030SA sensor include Monochrome, RGB-NIR, and RGB.

The LI3030SA sensor enhances system capabilities by providing high sensitivity and low-noise imaging in low-light environments, and by allowing for the separation of visible and NIR wavelengths. This simplifies system design and reduces size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements.
