OWL 640 SWIR is a rugged, high sensitivity digital SWIR camera

High resolution, low noise, digital SWIR camera

The OWL 640 SWIR is a rugged, high sensitivity digital SWIR camera, using a 640 x 512 InGaAs sensor enabling high-sensitivity imaging from 0.9µm to 1.7µm. The 15µm x 15µm pixel pitch enables the highest resolution SWIR image and with less than 39 electrons readout noise.

Available with a Camera Link output, the OWL 640 Digital will run up to 120Hz, enabling high-speed digital video with intelligent Automated Gain Control (AGC). This new on-board AGC will enable clear video in all light conditions.
