RAPTOR launches a new analog owl 640 visible swir camera.

Raptor Photonics, a global leader in the design and manufacture of high performance digital cameras has launched an additional member to its family of SWIR and Visible SWIR cameras with the OWL 640 Analog camera.

Following on from the success of the OWL 640 Digital camera using CameraLink, Raptor has now launched an analog alternative with CCIR and EIA output choices. As with the digital version, the OWL analog camera is rugged and ultra-compact. It has the lowest readout noise in the market which makes it ideal for night vision applications.

The OWL SW1.7 CL-640 is a rugged, high sensitivity digital VIS-SWIR camera. Using a 640 x 512 InGaAs sensor from SCD the OWL enables high sensitivity imaging from 0.4µm to 1.7µm. The 15µm x 15µm pixel pitch enables highest resolution VIS-SWIR image and with less than 50 electrons readout noise the OWL 640 enables the highest VIS-SWIR detection limit.

The OWL 640 Analog will run at 25Hz in CCIR and 30Hz in EIA, enabling high speed digital video with intelligent auto AGC. This new feature On-board Automated Gain Control (AGC) will enable clear video in all light conditions. The OWL 640 also features an on-board intelligent 3 point NUC which will provide the highest quality images

As with all Raptor cameras the OWL 640 is an ultra compact, low power (<5W) camera which makes it ideal for hand-held, mobile or airborne systems. It is very rugged, and has no fan enabling integration into UAV, handheld or any Electro-Optic system.

There are a range of applications that can be used with the OWL 640 including 860, 1064 and 1550nm laser line detection, active Imaging, airborne payload, Hand Held Goggles, Imaging through fog, Range finding, Semiconductor Inspection, SolarCell Inspection, Telecommunications and Thermography

Raptor also offers a 640 digital / CameraLink version, as well as a 320 version of this camera and a High Speed version (up to 350Hz).
