InGaAs camera

C12741-03

The C12741-03 is a high-sensitivity InGaAs camera designed to operate in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum from 950 nm to 1700 nm. Equipped with both an analog (EIA) output and a USB 3.0 interface, it enables 14-bit image acquisition and adjustable exposure times. These features make it well-suited for applications such as silicon wafer and device inspection, laser beam alignment, and solar cell evaluation.

Key Features

  • Superior NIR sensitivity for precise imaging
  • 640 × 512 pixel resolution for detailed image capture
  • Cooled design for low noise and enhanced stability
  • Dual interface support: USB 3.0 and analog (EIA)
  • Frame rate: Up to 60 frames per second

Applications

  • Silicon wafer and device inspections
  • Solar cell evaluation and defect detection
  • Analysis of optical communication components
  • Electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence (PL) imaging
