The NIRvana: 640* from Princeton Instruments is the world’s first scientific grade, deep-cooled, large format
InGaAs camera for low-light scientific SWIR imaging and spectroscopy applications. The camera uses a 640
x 512 InGaAs array with response from 0.9 mm to 1.7 mm. The detector is Peltier cooled to -85°C to minimize
thermally generated noise and to improve signal-to-noise ratio for the most demanding SWIR applications. It
offers 16-bit digitization and low read noise for outstanding dynamic range.
FEATURE
640 x 512 InGaAs array
BENEFITS
High resolution imaging in the SWIR region;
Offers 4X more pixels over 320 x 256 sensor
20 mm x 20 mm pixels
High spatial resolution
Response from 0.9 mm to 1.7 mm with
85% (typical) peak quantum efficiency
Excellent SWIR sensitivity for demanding imaging applications
Thermo-electric (Peltier) cooling
