C-RED 2 Extended Range: New perspectives in SWIR imaging
27 May 2021
C-RED 2 Extended Range (ER) is a highly sensitive extended short wave infrared camera (1300 nm – 2200 nm). It is the only camera based on a VGA (640x512 pixels) ER-InGaAs detector array on the market. C-RED 2 ER combines extremely high framerates (up to 600 frames per second in full frame) to high sensitivity with a readout noise below 60 e- RMS. The camera can be cooled down to -55°C with water cooling (no Liquid Nitrogen) for optimized performances.
C-RED 2 ER enables high performance scientific imaging in the extended SWIR range: While standard InGaAs detectors cover a spectral range from 900 to 1700 nm, ER-InGaAs detector sensitivity is shifted towards higher wavelengths (1300 – 2200 nm).
