Senseeker has announced the Neon RD0131-L10x is a low-noise, triple-gain digital readout integrated circuit (DROIC) that has a 10μm pitch pixel with a capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) front-end circuit. This DROIC was developed for low-light applications, such as shortwave Infrared (SWIR), and low-current detector technologies, such as quantum dot-based detectors.
It has been designed for use in high operating temperature (HOT) conditions. The Neon RD0131 is well suited for use in machine vision systems that inspect and enable sorting of various commodity and industrial items. Their ability to image through both smoke and glass makes SWIR cameras ideal for use by emergency service responders such as firefighters to locate either hot spots or persons in danger. SWIR cameras are also ideal for automobile automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems that can operate in conditions of reduced visibility.
