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

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

State-of-the-art LightField acquisition software
PIoNIR is fully supported by the latest LightField acquisition software for complete control over hardware functionality. Software offers automatic defect correction, background and flat-field correction, frame averaging and host of other features that researchers need to optimize the experiment.
