Entering the market as the industry's first video camera to capture images in the near infrared (NIR) wavelength band from 900 to 1,700 nm, the MiniCamera measures just 5 x 6 x 9.5 cm, weighs under 350g without the lens, and is suitable for telecommunications and DWDM applications. The camera is completely solid-state in design, operates at ambient room temperatureS, and draws less than 1.6W of power.
Incorporating an InGaAs, 320 x 240 imager, the video camera has a detectivity rating of >5 x 1012 cm-√Hz/W with a noise floor of less than 500 equivalent photoelectrons and a true dynamic range of greater than 33 dB. Outputs for the MiniCamera include RS-170 compatible analog video and 12-bit RS-422 digital.
