NIT expands its SWIR camera portfolio with the latest SenS 1280S-VT model which integrates NIT 1280x1024pixel @ 10um sensor. The camera operates with a USB3 output and is bundled with GUI – NITVISION software and SDK for major operating systems.

Sens1280V-ST exhibits outstanding world-class performances such as :

• Readout noise of typ. 27e-
• QE > 85%
• Frame rate > 60Hz at full frame
• Programmable Regions of Interest
• 14bits Digital output

Applications include laser beam analysis, silicon, and solar wafer inspection, process control, medical, food analysis, microscopy, etc.

Sens1280V-ST is the first of the long list of HD cameras to be released in 2021, the next available one will be a Camlink version due in July.

Together with the high-performance air-cooled camera series – HiPe SenS, released last year, the SenS series propose more resolution options to clients in Linear response: VGA (640x512px) and SXGA (1280x1024px).

New Imaging Technologies (NIT) thanks the French Government for their support with the “France Relance” Program in developing the industrialization of our novel in-house stacking technology, recognizing NIT’s breakthrough R&D process development in SWIR sensor production. NIT will be able to address volume production and high-resolution SWIR sensors with this industrialization process

Abstract

Nanocrystals are semiconductor nanoparticles whose optical properties can be tuned from UV up to THz. They are used as sources of green and red light for displays, and also show exhibit promises to design low-cost infrared detectors. Coupling subwavelength optical resonators to nanocrystals film enables to design photodiodes that absorb 80% of incident light from thin (<150 nm) nanocrystal film. It thus becomes possible to overcome the constraints linked to the short diffusion lengths which result from transport by hopping within arrays of nanocrystals enabling a high photoresponse detector operating in the SWIR range

NIT is pleased to announce the sampling and production of its latest high definition SWIR image sensor

NSC1901T-SI is the latest generation of NIT SWIR sensor having a pixel resolution of 1280×1024 pixels at a pitch of 10um, with the extraordinary low readout noise performance of typically 25e-, thanks to its innovative input stage and in pixel CDS.

NSC1901T-SI delivers up to 120 frames per second, operates in IWR and ITR mode, and can be combined with ROI readout. This first member of the SXGA family has a linear response only. The dual-mode Linear and Logarithmic response will be available in Q3-2021.

NSC1901T-SI is manufactured using the advanced NH process developed by NIT. This in-house technology allows the production of hybrid components without using the traditional Indium bump technique leading to high yield manufacturing.

NSC1901T-SI will be integrated first into the NIT SenS camera line – the SenS 1280 camera is due to be out in May 2021.

Since launching, we’ve incorporated a ton of great new features into our software to help you take full control of the camera. Never settle down! Today we’re glad to introduce you to a brand new camera software that has been developed to simplify your workflow. Moreover, now you can run your USB and GigE cameras with a unique software – NITVISION.

NITVISION is our new software providing all the tools necessary to control our USB and GigE cameras, including our brand new Mpix SWIR camera – SenS 1280.

It replaces our legacy GUIs:  WiDyVISION, MagicVISION, and NITViewerGIGE.
This display application is based on our new NITLibrary 3.0 SDK to help you build your own blocks around our SDK.

With NITVISION, you can access every feature you need for image monitoring:

• Control of USB and GigE cameras.
• Live streaming.
• Snapshot images of raw and filtered captures (TIFF, PNG, JPEG formats).
• Recording of raw and filtered streaming (PTW and AVI formats).
• Analyzing and profiling tools.

You will soon be able to download our software directly from the Download page (May 2021).
