NIT Releases Upgraded NSC1801 Line Scan Sensor for Improved Performance

Date Announced: 05 Apr 2023

NIT has recently announced an updated version of its NSC1801 line scan sensor. The NSC1801 is a sensor designed for capturing high-resolution images of linearly moving objects with high frame rates, low noise, and high sensitivity. With the world's smallest pixel size of 7.5um, the NSC1801 boasts of lower manufacturing costs without compromising the cost of lenses. The sensor has been reworked, and its overall performance has been improved, making it an ideal choice for various applications. The NSC1801 is currently available in NIT's LiSaSWIR cameras.

The upgraded NSC1801 line scan sensor offers several impressive features that make it stand out in the industry. Its small pixel size of 7.5x7.5um allows for the capture of sharp details with incredible precision. The sensor provides a resolution of 2048 pixels, which provides a large field of view compatible with most lenses available on the market. The NSC1801 line scan sensor also has three gain modes that allow users to select the best dynamic range for the scene. This makes it highly versatile for different applications. Its quantum efficiency of over 85% boosts its sensitivity, allowing for maximum performance. With a line rate of up to 60KHz, the NSC1801 line scan sensor can capture even the shortest events. Its exposure time of 10us to 220ms is fully configurable, ensuring the best signal-to-noise ratio is captured for each unique scenario.

The NSC1801 line scan sensor was designed and manufactured in NIT's new manufacturing facility. This clean room is equipped with a high-yield hybridization process that facilitates the complete design and production cycle of these sensors in volume with unprecedented levels of quality.

The NSC1801 line scan sensor was initially developed to cater to new markets that could not invest in costly and complex SWIR cameras. As a result, the Lisa SWIR camera from NIT, which utilizes the NSC1801, delivers an affordable price point, even for individual purchases.

The NSC1801 line scan sensor is an excellent solution for a wide range of applications, including waste sorting, semiconductor and photovoltaic cell inspection, food and vegetable inspection, and pharmaceutical inspection applications.

In summary, NIT's upgraded NSC1801 line scan sensor offers improved performance, high sensitivity, and low noise while remaining cost-effective. The sensor's versatility and compatibility with most lenses on the market provide added flexibility, making it an ideal solution for various applications. NIT's Lisa SWIR camera based on the NSC1801 is an excellent option for those looking for high-quality linear imaging at an affordable price point.
