Photon etc is developing a new, affordable deep-cooled SWIR camera sensitive from 800 nm to 2.6 μm. Using a stirling micro cooler, our PionIR™ Camera reaches noise levels lower than its TE cooled competitors. First designed to increase the signal-to-noise ratio for faint flux applications such as hyperspectral imaging, this camera is also perfectly suited for spectroscopy, astronomy, or industrial applications.
