High resolution, High Sensitivity, Digital VIS-SWIR camera
Using a 1280 x 1024 InGaAs sensor from SCD, the OWL 1280 offers visible extension from 0.4µm to 1.7µm to enable high sensitivity imaging. The 10µm x 10µm pixel pitch enables the highest resolution imaging. It will offer less than 40 electrons readout noise, with a ultra-high intrascene dynamic range of 68dBdB, enabling simultaneous capture of bright & dark portions of a scene.
Available with a 12 bit Camera Link output, the OWL 1280 will run from 10 up to 60Hz. The camera will feature On-board Automated Gain Control (AGC) which will enable 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. As with all Raptor cameras the OWL 1280 is ultra compact, rugged and low power (<3W). The camera is stabilised with no fan.
