More

The Goldeye CL-032 TEC1 is a very versatile shortwave infrared camera for the spectral range from 900 nm to 1700 nm. High frame rates of 100 fps at full resolution (636 × 508), a strong sensor cooling, as well as a high intra-scene dynamic range of more than 73 dB enable to apply the camera in various application areas and under varying operating conditions.

Save time and money to integrate the camera into your system: A small form factor and multiple mounting options let the camera fit easily into compact system designs. In addition, its standardized Camera Link interface with GenCP support and comprehensive I/O control options simplify the connection to your software solution and the synchronization with other system components.

The integrated thermo-electric sensor cooling and several on-board image correction features contribute to the Goldeye's outstanding image quality.

Applications

Goldeye cameras are very sensitive in the SWIR spectrum. They can be used in an extended operating temperature range. Thanks to temperature stabilization and integrated image correction, Goldeye cameras achieve an outstanding image quality with little noise and a high dynamic range. They are well-suited for many typical SWIR applications in various industry branches:

Semiconductor industry: solar cell and chip inspection
Recyling industry: plastics sorting
Medical imaging, sciences: hyperspectral imaging, microscopy, OCT
Metal and glass industry: thermal imaging of hot objects (250 °C to 800 °C)
Agriculture industry: airborne remote sensing
Printing industry: banknote inspection
Electronics industry: laser beam profiling
Surveillance and security: vision enhancement (for example, through fog or night vision)
