SWIR and VIS-SWIR Cameras
OWL 640 VIS-SWIR – Cooled digital or analog InGaAs
The OWL SW1.7 CL-640 is a rugged, high sensitivity digital
VIS-SWIR camera. Using a 640 x 512 InGaAs sensor from
SCD the OWL offers high sensitivity imaging from 0.4 µm to
1.7 µm. The 15 µm x 15 µm pixel pitch enables highest resolution
VIS-SWIR image and with less than 50 electrons readout
noise the OWL 640 enables the highest VIS-SWIR detection
limit. Available with a CameraLink output, the OWL 640 runs
at up to 120 Hz, enabling high speed digital video with intelligent
AGC. This new feature On-board Automated Gain Control
(AGC) enables clear video in all light conditions. Available
with an analog output, the OWL 640 runs at 25 Hz in
CCIR and 30 Hz in EIA, enabling high speed digital video with
intelligent auto AGC.
