PCO-TECH Inc.: The all new pco.dicam Intensified sCMOS - UHS and LT series

Abstract

Image intensifiers increase the intensity of available light in a system allowing for better image reproduction in low-light scenarios when capturing fast kinetic events. One of the key benefits of using an sCMOS-based camera module inside the pco.dicam series systems – besides high sensitivity, dynamic, and resolution – is high frame rates at full resolution. Now, a sustained frame rate of 106 fps at full 4.2 MPixel resolution with 16 bit dynamic range has turned into reality. It is not only the fast sCMOS sensor camera module, but it is also the ultra-fast CLHS (Camera Link High Speed) interface which has opened the door to an unprecedented intensified image data rate of 880 MB/s. Our pco.dicam portfolio is well established with the pco.dicam C1; the pco.dicam C4; and, since 2020 with the introduction of our revolutionary new pco.dicam C8 which provides up to 6.8 GB/s data rates using 8 x 10G fibre optic data interface capabilities. All of these pco.dicam product variants mentioned above use a 25 mm internal image intensifier. However, for the very first time using the virtual Photonics West Conference as our launchpad, we proudly present the all new 18 mm internal image intensifier series: pco.dicam C1, C4, C8 UHS (Ultra High Speed) pco.dicam C1, C4, C8 LT (Lite) These new products now deliver the most versatile intensified camera portfolio available on the market. We are pleased to answer your questions and look forward to meet with you at our virtual booth for discussions with our experts.
