PIoNIR - World's First Professional-Grade NIR Camera Powered by LightField

 

Introducing the world's first scientific NIR (InGaAs) camera!

Princeton Instruments is proud to introduce world’s first deep cooled, scientific grade InGaAs focal plane array camera. The camera is specifically designed to give the highest sensitivity for low light near infrared (NIR) imaging and spectroscopy applications. The camera is thermometrically cooled up to -90C (Air or Liquid assisted) for maintenance free operation.

The PIoNIR InGaAs camera is set to become a valuable tool for challenging new applications ranging from nanotechnology to solar research.

Salient Features:

  • 640x512 scientific grade InGaAs Array
  • Latest generation InGaAs sensor
  • Wavelength range of 0.9um-1.7um
  • Peak quantum efficiency of 80%
  • Thermoelectric (TE) cooling up to -90C

Typical Applications:

  • Nanotube fluorescence
  • NIR astronomy
  • Photoemission microscopy
  • Quantum dot (QDot) research
  • Single oxygen detection
  • Photoluminescence
  • NIR transmission
  • Backside illumination
