Q1: What is an extended SWIR camera?
An extended SWIR camera uses a sensor with spectral sensitivity beyond the conventional 1700 nm SWIR limit. The iBX-SWU640B Series offers wavelength options extending to 1900 nm or 2200 nm.
Q2: What is the difference between iBX-SWU640B-240 and iBX-SWU640B-E?
The iBX-SWU640B-240 supports 1000–1900 nm imaging at 240 FPS, while the iBX-SWU640B-E supports 1200–2200 nm imaging at 270 FPS. The models also differ in cooling capability.
Q3: What is the resolution of the iBX-SWU640B Series?
Both models feature a 640 × 512 InGaAs sensor with 15 × 15 µm pixels and global shutter imaging.
Q4: Does the iBX-SWU640B Series support sensor cooling?
Yes. The iBX-SWU640B-240 supports cooling up to 40°C below ambient, while the iBX-SWU640B-E supports up to 70°C below ambient.
Q5: What applications can benefit from extended SWIR imaging?
Extended SWIR imaging can be useful in semiconductor inspection, material analysis, scientific imaging, laser applications, and spectral research. The appropriate model depends on the required wavelength and imaging conditions.
