C-RED 3
VERY HIGH SPEED SWaP OPTIMIZED InGaAs SWIR CAMERA
THEORY OF OPERATION
Specially designed for short exposure times applications, C-RED 3 is the fastest VGA uncooled camera for short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging.
C-RED 3 is using a TECless 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 5 μs.
Our adaptive BIAS allows to use the camera in any variable temperature environment.
Autonomous, ultra compact and also available in OEM, C-RED 3 offers a solution for every application and every budget.
