TELEDYNE E2V INTRODUCES HIGH-SPEED SENSOR WITH ENHANCED NIR SENSITIVITY

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 25 (Bernama) -- Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies company and global innovator of imaging solutions, has introduced Lince5M NIR, a state-of-the-art high-speed CMOS image sensor designed for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and medical applications.

Teledyne e2v Marketing Manager, François Trolez highlighted that the Lince5M NIR was designed to provide excellent high-speed imaging beyond the visible spectrum, with strong performance in the near-infrared range.

“Camera manufacturers currently using our Lince5M will find it easy to switch to Lince5M NIR, as both products share the same mechanical and electrical interfaces. This new product will enhance our ability to address new markets and applications,” he said in a statement.

Leveraging Teledyne e2v’s advanced imaging technologies, this new sensor delivers enhanced performance in both visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, offering improved functionality in low-light conditions.

The Lince5M NIR features a monochrome 5.2-megapixel resolution (2,560 x 2,048), building on the success of the original Lince5M. It supports high-speed performance, capturing 250 frames per second at full resolution with a 12-bit ADC.

The sensor boasts an impressive quantum efficiency of 35 per cent at 850 nanometres (nm) and is optimised for demanding applications such as motion capture, sports analytics, industrial metrology, retinal imaging, and intelligent traffic monitoring.

It offers superior image quality even in challenging lighting conditions, with a dynamic range of 55 decibels (dB) in standard mode and over 100 dB in High Dynamic Range mode, perfect for high-contrast scenes.

The sensor is housed in a durable 28 x 28 millimetres (mm) 181 Pin-Grid Array (PGA) ceramic package, featuring a one-inch optical format compatible with a variety of C-mount lenses for cost-effective camera integration. With an operating temperature range from -40 degrees Celsius (°C) to 125°C, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

The Lince5M NIR will be showcased during Vision China, Shanghai, China, from March 26 to 28. Documentation, samples, and kits for evaluation or development are available upon request.
