iVac 316 CCD by Andor Technology

Andor’s spectroscopy camera designed for OEMs with performance and reliability in mind. The combination of high NIR sensitivity, high resolution 15 and 16 µm pixel sensor formats and market-leading, maintenance-free Ultravac™ technology for deep cooling & high performance year-after-year provides the optimum platform for a wide range of research benchtop, industrial process control, or spectrally-assisted medical diagnosis instruments.

Features & Benefits:

• UltraVac™ - Permanent vacuum integrity, critical for deep cooling
• Compact and rugged design - Ideal for OEM assembly into highly integrated instruments
• Peak QE up to 95% @ 780 nm - Back illuminated, Deep-Depletion option for the best VIS-NIR detection
• High resolution 15 and 16 μm pixels - Optimized pixel format for high resolution
• 10x lower dark current for Low Dark Current Deep-Depletion, ‘LDC-DD’ compared with traditional Back Illuminated Deep-Depletion ‘BI-DD’ sensors - Less cooling required to achieve required Signal-to-Noise levels
• Ultra-low NIR etaloning - Front-Illuminated option with ‘zero’ etaloning. Anti-fringing technology as standard on Back-Illuminated option
• 30 mm wide sensor (LDC-DD) - Greater band-pass capture in 1 single shot
• Single window design - Delivers maximum photon throughput
• Guaranteed air cooling performance:
  - 60°C at ambient temperature of up to +25°C
  - 50°C at ambient temperature of up to +40°C
  No water cooling required
• Simple USB 2.0 connection - USB plug and play - no controller box
• Software Development Kit (SDK) - Ease of control integration into complex setups, ideal for OEMs: MATLAB, LabVIEW, Visual Basic or C/C++
• Comprehensive trigger interface - Inputs & Outputs: External Trigger, Fire and Shutter TTL readily accessible
