SWIR and VIS-SWIR Cameras
OWL 1280 VIS-SWIR – HD format digital InGaAs
Using a 1280 x 1024 InGaAs sensor from SCD, the OWL 1280
offers visible extension from 0.4 µm to 1.7 µm to enable high
sensitivity imaging. The 10 µm x 10 µm pixel pitch enables
the highest resolution imaging. The camera also offers 2 x 2
binning to become 640 × 512, 20 µm pitch for ultimate low
light vision and high speed applications. It provides less than
35 electrons readout noise combined with one of the lowest
dark current readings on the market. The camera has an ultra-high
intrascene dynamic range of 70 dB enabling simultaneous
capture of bright & dark portions of a scene.
Available with a 14 bit CameraLink output, the OWL 1280 runs
from 10 up to 60 Hz. The camera features On-board Automated
Gain Control (AGC) which enables the best contrast
image from low light to bright as well as an on-board intelligent
3 point Non Uniform Correction (NUC) algorithm providing
the highest quality images.
Advantages
• VIS-SWIR technology – High sensitivity imaging from
0.4 μm to 1.7 μm
• 10 μm x 10 μm pixel pitch – Highest resolution VIS-
SWIR image
• < 40 electrons readout noise – Enables highest VIS-
SWIR detection limit
• Ultra high intrascene dynamic range – 70 dB – Similtaneous
capture of bright & dark portions of a scene
• On-board Automated Gain Control (AGC) – Clear
video in all light conditions
• On-board intelligent 3 point NUC – Enables highest
quality images
• Ultra compact, Low power (< 3.5 W) – Ideal for handheld,
mobile or airborne systems
• Rugged, No fan – Integration into UAV
