SCION SWIR 640/1280 | Next Generation High-Speed Low-Noise Cameras

SCION SWIR Camera

The SCION SWIR cameras, the latest SWIR camera from Teledyne, delivers exceptional performance from 0.4 to 1.7 μm visible and short-wavelength infrared imaging. Featuring an advanced VISGaAs sensor and thermoelectric cooling this camera offers reduced noise and improved temperature stability, ensuring higher quality and more reliable imaging. Teledyne LightField® software provides complete control enabling easy capture, analysis, and processing of high-quality images and spectra.

Key Features

• Built with long-life vacuum chamber and high reliability thermoelectric cooling for worry-free and consistent operation, year after year
• Built-in F/1.4 cold shield cuts down on background signal
• Teledyne provided custom cold shield and filters options available
• Choice of full camera or OEM model with sensor and proximity boards
• Multiple regions of interest can be read out, allowing you to focus on the data that matters
• Offering “Sample Up The Ramp” (SUPR) for low noise at low signal conditions

“Sample-Up-The-Ramp” (SUPR) and Non-Destructive Readout (NDR)

• In SUTR mode, each pixel is read multiple times during a single integration without resetting the accumulated charge. This non-destructive readout preserves the signal while providing several key advantages for high-precision imaging:

1. 1. Extended Dynamic Range: Multiple reads capture signal before saturation, allowing accurate measurements even for bright sources.
   2. Cosmic Ray and Noise Mitigation: Intermediate reads help identify and correct artifacts such as cosmic ray hits and Random Telegraph Noise (RTN).
   3. Lower Effective Read Noise: Fitting a slope to multiple samples reduces noise by approximately the square root of the number of reads.
   4. Rich Data for Analysis: Each read is stored as a slice in a 3D datacube, enabling advanced processing techniques like slope fitting and artifact correction.

Typical Applications

• Hyperspectral imaging
• Chemical sensing
• Scientific research
• Medical imaging
• Silicon inspection
