Custom-made Cameras

Together with Lambert Instruments, we can offer imaging products for low light level applications such as: special multistage intensifiers, cooled intensifiers, intensified high speed cameras, ICCD cameras, image sensor with fiber optic input window - made according to custom specifications. After analyzing the application, we will advise the best possible solution.

Examples:

Photocathode ICCD-camera

A cooled photocathode ICCD-camera was developed for the Astrophysics Research Institute for faint object detection by using Speckle Interferometry and Photon Counting techniques. The instrument contains a Hybrid Image Intensifier (2 stages: GenII & GenI), which is fibre-optically coupled to a high frame rate CCD-Camera. The Photocathode of the Intensifier is thermo-electrically cooled down to -25°C.

Features:
• Photon Imaging
• Less than 1 e-/frame Dark Current
• 50,000 Intensifier Photon Gain
• 256 x 256 pixel Frame Transfer CCD
• 220 frames/s Frame Rate

Intensified Position Sensitive Detector

An Intensified Position Sensitive Detector (IPSD) was developed for the European Space Agency. The intrument is a custom-built image intensifier integrated onto a position-sensing detector. The IPSD was designed to fit the 50cm MONS telescope, and is used by ESA to quantify the effects of turbulence on light transmission through atmosphere. The IPSD was designed for high speed, high resolution tracking of faint objects. It contains a Hybrid Image Intensifier (2-stages: GenII & GenI), which is fibre-optically coupled to a Position Sensing Detector.
