Emberion VS20 GigE VIS-SWIR camera utilizes a unique quantum dot-based CMOS sensor technology. Emberion released a high-speed 400-fps camera with wide spectral range from 400 to 2000 nm and high dynamic range (HDR) capabilities. Applications targeting machine vision includes optical sorting (e.g., waste sorting in the recycling industry), semiconductor, defense, horticulture/agriculture, and multispectral imaging.

Spectrogon manufactures infrared filters and windows with high transmission, high rejection outside the passband, while maintaining excellent coating uniformity for thermal imaging and gas detection applications such as cryogenically cooled IR detectors and uncooled microbolometers. Our filters and windows range in dimension from Ø6.0 to Ø200.0 mm with dicing capabilities down to as small as 1.0 × 1.0 mm.

The model 771 operates as both a high-resolution spectrum analyzer and a high-accuracy wavelength meter. With spectral resolution up to 2 GHz and wavelength accuracy as high as ±0.0001 nm, this system provides the most detailed information about the spectral properties of lasers operating from 375 nm to 12 μm.
