HD 10µm Pitch InGaAs Detector with Laser Detection

High Definition 10μm pitch InGaAs detector with Asynchronous Laser Pulse Detection mode

In recent years SCD has developed InGaAs/InP technology for Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) imaging. The first product, Cardinal 640, has a 640x512 (VGA) format at 15μm pitch, and more than a thousand units have already been delivered. We now present Cardinal 1280, having the smallest pitch available today (10μm), with a 1280x1024 (SXGA) format. Cardinal 1280 addresses both long-range daylight imaging, and passive or active imaging in Low Light Level (LLL) conditions. The Readout Integrated Circuit supports snapshot imaging at 13 bit resolution with a frame rate of 160Hz at full format, or a frame rate of 640Hz with 2x2 binning....

    - Perimeter SecuritySCD’s high-end, XBn (HOT) and InSb detectors were specially developed for applications where 24/7 operation is a must. These cooled detectors are successfully integrated into Perimeter Security systems thanks to their superior performance, high reliability and endurance to harsh environmental conditions.
    - Long Range SurveillanceSCD’s detectors are used in long range surveillance thermal cameras. Thanks to the detectors’ high resolution imaging, these cameras are successfully used in any environment from heavy fog to complete darkness and for 24/7 situational awareness and long-range recognition and identification of targets.
    - Public Safety & TransportationThermal cameras are one of the most suitable solutions for making public transportation safer. Public transportation passengers rely on trains, metros or trams to bring them safely and timely to their destination and accidents caused by fire or objects lying on secured areas (areas which should be free of objects) can lead to delays as well as severe personal damage. Thermal imaging cameras can detect many of these incidents in time and therefore help public transportation operators take the appropriate measures in advance. SCD’s wide portfolio of cooled and uncooled detectors, cover the entire infrared spectrum and are consistently integrated into these cameras in order to improve the everyday public safety of transportation.

    - Missile SeekersSCD’s Pelican-D JT is an MWIR detector specially designed for missile applications. The FPA is InSb based, having a digital Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) in a format of 640 x 512 with 15μm pitch. Pelican-D JT has a unique structure of Dewar which enables very fast cool down time and hence quick mission readiness using a Joule-Thomson (JT) cooler. Due to the low heat load on the focal plane, the detector achieves long mission duration, a basic requirement for missile applications.

  - Aviation SafetySCD has been a market leader in the field of cooled and uncooled detectors used in Enhanced Vision Systems (EVS) for Aviation Safety. These systems allow aircraft to safely land and takeoff in adverse weather conditions such as fog, snow or heavy rain.
  - Furnace Temperature MappingOne of SCD’s commercial applications of SWIR and LWIR uncooled detectors is furnace temperature mapping. By using thermal infrared cameras it is possible to establish a temperature mapping model which helps to measure the molten iron temperature. The temperature measurement of blast furnace (BF) molten iron is a mandatory requirement in the iron-making process, and the molten iron temperature is significant in estimating the molten iron quality and control blast furnace condition.
  - Gas Leak DetectionSCD’s cooled and uncooled detectors have been successfully integrated into thermal cameras used for detecting gas leakage which the human eye can’t see. If gas leakage isn’t discovered early, companies could face not only financial losses, but also negative environmental impact and personnel safety issues.

  - Industrial InspectionsSCD’s cooled and uncooled detectors are integrated into thermal cameras for use in Industrial inspections. These cameras are powerful, non-invasive tools that can be used to monitor and diagnose problems in a variety of industrial systems. Any system that generates heat can be observed with the camera and fluctuations in that heat can indicate potential problems such as loss of energy, a damaged component or areas in need of maintenance.
  - Laser Beam ProfilerWith many years of development experience, SCD has become an established supplier of high-power laser bar and stack products in a broad wavelength range from 750 nm to 1100 nm, primarily for DPSSL Pumping Applications. Built upon SCD’s RobustHead™ Packaging Technology and proprietary chip design, our laser diode arrays can be assembled in different configurations for QCW operation with peak powers in the kilowatt range.
