Description
ZephIR™ 1.7
ZephIR 1.7 is Photon etc.’s near-infrared InGaAs low-noise camera, deep-cooled at -80°C and highly sensitive from 0.9 to 1.7 µm
Deeply Cooled InGaAs Camera
The ZephIR 1.7 is a high-end, scientific grade, 640 x 512 pixels resolution, InGaAs camera that marries performance with reliability. It has extremely low noise levels, high efficiency, and a rapid frame rate compatible with an external trigger. This is made possible by a combination of state-of-the-art control electronics and a four stage thermoelectric cooler (TEC) which can maintain an operating temperature as low as -80 °C. The TEC, in turn, uses forced air cooling which requires none of the maintenance of a water or liquid nitrogen chilled unit.
The ZephIR 1.7 is one of the most sensitive and dependable InGaAs cameras on the market.
