What is a “TECless” SWIR camera? Learn more about Allied Vision’s highly cost-effective SWIR camera models

Allied Vision Goldeye SWIR cameraShort Wave Infra-Red (SWIR) imaging is now more economical with the introduction of Allied Vision’s TECless Goldeye cameras.  SWIR cameras open up numerous application possibilities for machine vision solutions, since they are able to detect defects that are not visible to the naked eye.

SWIR cameras have an InGaAs (Indium Gallium Arsenide) sensor that detects wavelengths between 900nm and 1,700nm.  These wavelengths are invisible to the human eye and CCD / CMOS cameras, however SWIR cameras detect the invisible wavelength found in various applications.  For example water accumulations inside fruits or defects within silicon products.

SWIR - light emmission at 1150nm
Light emitted by silicon in solar cells peak at 1150nm

SWIR cameras typically require Thermal Electric Coolers (TEC’s) which enable low-noise imaging in the spectral range of 900mm to 1,700nm.  Additionally, the TEC’s compensate for high temperature fluctuations and stabilizes the image sensor.
 
For temperature stable environments, Allied Vision now has a “TECless” InGaAs camera providing a lower entry price point, in turn an excellent price-performance ratio.
 
The Goldeye G-033 and CL-033 TECless InGaAs cameras are the solution to applications unachievable with standard cameras offering the following features
 
  • SWIR imaging from 900nm to 1700nm
  • High frame rates of 301 fps with VGA resolution
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE)
  • Compact design with no fan
  • Lower cost vs TEC versions
  • GigE and Camera link interfaces.
