Imaging in Challenging Lighting Conditions — A Better Way 07 Sep 2023

Teledyne Lumenera

Choosing just the right camera for a particular application can be difficult. Common cameras specifications that are normally considered include resolution and frame rate. However, lighting is an external factor that is potentially even more important to consider. This document highlights how high conversion gain (HCG) and low conversion gain (LCG) camera capabilities can be beneficial in challenging lighting conditions, along with examples of imaging applications where these challenges commonly occur.

Improving Calibration Accuracy for High-End Spectroradiometers 06 Oct 2023

ADMESY BV

Admesy introduces a groundbreaking calibration concept that surpasses the limitations of conventional calibration light sources.

Anti-reflective coatings for infrared applications on IG6 substrates 11 Oct 2023

I-Photonics

Chalcogenide glasses, due to their unique optical properties, open new prospects for infrared optics in various fields of industry and science. This paper presents a technology that has been developed to overcome the long-term problems associated with the adhesion of coatings to glass and contributes to the development of more durable coatings.

Unlike emCCD or sCMOS intensified cameras allow for photon detection down to 4ns. Photon Lines’ partner, Excelitas PCO explains this exciting part of their range 16 May 2023

Photon Lines / PCO

pco.dicam – a family of nine MCP image intensified camera systems offering extremely short exposure/shutter times. The choice of the photocathodes allows selection of spectral behaviour for different applications. Download the white paper here.
