Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the Cheetah 640 series, a high-performance InGaAs areascan camera known for its fast imaging capabilities and high resolution. It is designed for applications in semiconductor analysis, art inspection, safety and security, scientific research, and medical fields.
Specifications: The camera features a 640 x 512 pixel resolution and is equipped with a cooled InGaAs detector. It offers different frame rates depending on the cooling stage: up to 1700 Hz for single-stage TE-cooled and up to 110 Hz for three-stage TE-cooled detectors. The camera supports a visible short-wave infrared (vSWIR) option, extending its capabilities into the visible wavelength band.
Advantages: The Cheetah 640 series is noted for being the world's fastest SWIR areascan camera, offering low dark current and reliable data transfer via CameraLink. It is compliant with CE and RoHS standards.
Mechanical and Environmental Specifications: The camera has approximate dimensions of 143 x 137 x 95 mm and weighs 2000 grams without the lens. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to +50°C and can be stored between -45 to +60°C. Power consumption varies from 25W to 60W depending on the model.
Electro-optical Specifications: The camera uses an InGaAs photodiode array with a CTIA ROIC and features a pixel pitch of 20 µm. It supports a spectral range of 900 - 1700 nm for SWIR and 500 - 1700 nm for vSWIR. The quantum efficiency is approximately 80% at peak value. The camera offers high gain and high dynamic range modes, with full well capacities of 45k and 500k electrons, respectively.
Performance: The camera supports a maximum frame rate of 1730 Hz for full frame and over 100,000 Hz for minimum region size. It features a preconfigured exposure time range from 0.1 to 40 ms in high gain mode and up to 20 seconds in high gain mode.
Connectivity: The camera uses CameraLink for command and control, with various digital output formats available. It includes configurable trigger options for input or output.
