Line Scan Smart Cameras

ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 5, 2018 — 
The Allegro USB3 series of Orion 2k Line Scan smart cameras from Imaging Solutions Group Inc. is a flexible solution for spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and machine vision applications.
The camera implements the AMS Orion 2k Line Scan sensor with its configurable pixel size, configurable conversion capacitance, and line rate control. The photo diode can be configured as a square 10- × 10-μm pixel or as a rectangular 10- × 200-μm pixel. The high aspect ratio photodiode makes the camera particularly useful for OCT and spectroscopy applications. The configurable conversion capacitance allows the user to choose between high signal-to-noise ratio or high-sensitivity performance. The camera can sample at rates up to 80 kHz in 11-bit mode or 20 kHz in 13-bit mode and external triggers can be used to control the line rate.
The square pixel, in combination with the higher sensitivity of the smaller conversion capacitance setting, is well suited for high-speed and high-resolution machine vision applications. With its USB3 Vision interface, a single cable connects the camera to any host system with a USB3 port to power the camera and transfer image data at the full speed and resolution of the sensor.
