dicam C4 LT intensified 16 bit sCMOS camera intensified sCMOS technology 1504 x 1504 pixel enhanced extinction ratio gating 40G fiber optic data interface 4 images in 204 ns 8 images in 690 ns exposure time 51 ns with 18 mm intensifier

For applications which do not challenge the absolute technical limits in multi channel intensified imaging we have introduced the new pco.dicam C4 LT as a budget friendly alternative to the pco.dicam C4 and pco.dicam C4 UHS. Based on the proven technology of our established pco.dicam C4 platform the pco.dicam C4 LT gives you full access to the world of true optical gated imaging. Four 18mm high quality image intensifiers in a fully integrated 4-channel sCMOS camera: Its high-end tandem lens system equally distributes the incident light from a single optical input to the 4 individual...

camera components overview top view front part with optical input and beam splitter optics A collimator lens generates bundles of parallel rays with focus set to infinity. In between, 3 double prisms provide a 50:50 beam distribution under a 90º angle. 2 single prisms act as 99.9 % reflection mirrors. Spectral filters can be mounted individually for each of the 4 light channels (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4). The imaging lenses of each channel focus the parallel bundles onto the photocathode of the image intensifier. Image intensifier (See more information on the next page.) subject to changes...

pco .dicam C4 LT»image intensifier photocathode characteristics Spectral sensitivities of different photocathode material: S20 (multialkali) data courtesy of Hamamatsu Photonics You can combine all photocathode materials with P43 or P46 phosphor. Whereas the P43 phosphor has a much brighter emission than the P46 phosphor, it has a rather long decay time, i.e. the time required until the phosphor emission fades out after the excitation by electron bombardement has been stopped. This decay time is therefore critical for fast image repetition rates primarily in double image application or when...

dicam C4 LT 7 technical specifications optical coupling lens system of the detector units (4x) ultra-speed tandem lens between image intensifier & sCMOS transmission efficiency scaling rates The projected image circle is completely covered by 1504 x 1504 6.5 µm pixels of the sCMOS detector. There is no “waste“ of valuable intensifier area. As a consequence the four corners of the sCMOS sensor remain black. subject to changes without prior notice | lens is sold seperately ©PCO AG, Kelheim | pco.dicam C4 LT data sheet | v1.

2 The readout noise values are given as median (med) and root mean square (rms) values due to the different noise models, which can be used for evaluation. All values are raw data without any filtering. 3 Measurements with dark current compensation. subject to changes without prior notice | lens is sold seperately ©PCO AG, Kelheim | pco.dicam C4 LT data sheet | v1.02

perfect fit: phosphor emission vs. sCMOS quantum efficiency 100 relative phosphor emission intensity quantum efficiency quantum efficiency [ % ] [% ] QE sCMOS image sensor This chart describes the spectral situation for the internal imaging of the image intensifier`s phosphor output screen to the sCMOS sensor of the camera detector module. This imaging is done by the highly efficient tandem lens system. Please note: The spectral sensitivity relevant for your experiment is solely determined by the QE curve of the photocathode material of the image intensifier (page 6). subject to changes...
