Discover C-RED 2’s new provisional datasheet, with preliminary performances:
C-RED 2 is a revolutionary ultra high speed low noise camera designed for high resolution Short Wave InfraRed
imaging. Thanks to its state of the art electronics, software, and innovative mechanics, C-RED 2 is capable of
unprecedented performances: up to 400 images per second with a read out noise from 10 to 30 electrons.
To achieve these breakthrough performances, C-RED 2 integrates a 640 x 512 InGaAs PIN Photodiode detector
with 15 μm pixel pitch for high resolution, which embeds an electronic shutter with integration pulses shorter
than 1 μs. C-RED 2 is also capable of windowing and multiple regions of interest (ROI), allowing faster image rate
while maintaining a very low noise.
The software allows real time applications, and the interface is CameraLink full and superspeed USB3.
C-RED 2 is designed to be updated remotely, and needs no human assistance to manage the cooling. The camera
can operate in very low-light conditions as well as remote locations.
Designed for high-end SWIR applications, smart and compact, C-RED 2 is operating from 0.9 to 1.7 μm with a very
good Quantum Efficiency over 70%, offering new opportunities for industrial or scientific applications.
C-RED 2 : This project is supported by the “Investments for the future” program and the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur Region, in the frame of the CPER.
