Princeton Infrared Technologies’ LineCam12 - Visible/NIR/SWIR Camera Named 2018 Prism Award Finalist

Date Announced: 01 Jan 2018

The award-winning visible, NIR, and SWIR linescan camera for machine vision and spectroscopy will be showcased at SPIE’s BiOS 2018 in booth # 8728 and Photonics West 2018 in booth #2624.

MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N. J. – December 6, 2017 - Princeton Infrared Technologies, Inc. (PIRT) (www.princetonirtech.com), announces its indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) linescan camera, the LineCam12, has been selected as one of three finalists in the prestigious Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation 2018, Detectors and Sensors category. The tenth annual award winners will be announced January 31, 2018 during SPIE’s Photonics West in San Francisco, California.

Princeton Infrared’s advanced new InGaAs-based LineCam12 detects light from

400 nm to 1700 nm. The wide spectral sensitivity enables machine vision and spectroscopy users the unique ability to see visible, near-infrared (NIR), and shortwave infrared (SWIR) light simultaneously, thus permitting hyperspectral imaging tasks that previously required the use of 2 or 3 separate cameras to achieve the same imaging performance. The innovative linescan camera has a 1024-element linear array that images up to 37k lines per second and features a 12.5 micron pitch. The low read noise of

Martin Ettenberg, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Princeton Infrared Technologies, notes, “We are delighted to be selected as a Prism Award finalist for 2018. Our LineCam12 linescan detector, with its extraordinary spectral sensitivity, is an ideal linear array for machine vision tasks and also serves the demanding spectroscopy market.”
