Photon etc.－NIR InGaAs Cooling Camera

Fast Precisie Ivestigate Point for wafer by Cooling InGas

< ZEPHIR™​ 2.9 Infrared cameras, NIR / SWIR >
ZephIR™ 2.9 is Photon etc.'s affordable scientific-grade SWIR HgCdTe (MCT) camera, highly sensitive from 0.85 to 2.9 µm. A four-stage TE cooler, deep-cooling at -80°C, provides unrivalled low-noise levels even at an astounding 340 frame-per-second rate.


Deeply Cooled InGaAs Camera
The ZephIR 1.7 is a high-end, scientific grade, 640 x 512 pixels resolution, InGaAs camera that marries performance with reliability. It has extremely low noise levels, high efficiency, and a rapid frame rate compatible with an external trigger. This is made possible by a combination of state-of-the-art control electronics and a four stage thermoelectric cooler (TEC) which can maintain an operating temperature as low as -80 °C. The TEC, in turn, uses forced air cooling which requires none of the maintenance of a water or liquid nitrogen chilled unit.

< ZEPHIR™ 2.5 Infrared cameras, NIR / SWIR >
MCT camera for eSWIR imaging
The ZephIR 2.5 is a fully integrated HgCdTe camera with a 320 x 256 pixels focal plane array (FPA) sensitive from 850 to 2500 nm. The camera provides low noise detection and easy operation. This is in large part due to a four stages thermoelectric cooler (TEC) which can maintain operating temperature as low as -80 °C. The TEC’s forced air heat dissipation requires none of the maintenance of a water or liquid nitrogen chilled unit and does not suffer from the limited lifetime of Stirling mechanical coolers.

The camera’s hardware coded region-of-interest (ROI) enables the user to choose between a full-frame rate of 340 frames per second (fps) and a windowed rate of up to 3000 fps. Users can also choose to use Photon etc’s PHySpec camera control software or develop their own using an extensive software development kit (SDK).
