Princeton Infrared Technologies Honored by Vision Systems Design 2020 Innovators Program
Monmouth Junction, NJ – June 16, 2020 - Princeton Infrared Technologies, Inc. (PIRT), specialists in indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) imaging technology and affordable shortwave-infrared (SWIR) linescan cameras, visible-SWIR science cameras, and 1- and 2-D imaging arrays, announced today that its MVCam was recognized the best in machine vision today by the judges of the Vision Systems Design 2020 Innovators Awards program. The judging panel consisted of esteemed experts from system integrator and end-user companies.
“The Vision Systems Design team would like to congratulate Princeton Infrared Technologies, Inc. for their score in the 2020 Innovators Awards program,” says John Lewis, Editor in Chief. “Each year this unbiased and increasingly competitive program aims to celebrate the most innovative products and systems in machine vision. The Princeton Infrared Technologies, Inc. team should be very proud.”
The 1280MVCam series SWIR and visible camera supports the highest commercially available frame rate in SWIR band at Megapixel resolution with no ITAR restrictions. The camera is ideal for high speed machine vision and microscopy applications. This megapixel InGaAs camera provides 1280x1024 resolution shortwave infrared (SWIR) imagery at up to 95 frames per second (fps), with higher frame rates for user selectable regions of interest (ROI). With 12 µm pixel pitch, the MVCam InGaAs image sensor yields extremely low dark current and high quantum efficiency, >75% from 1.1 to 1.6µm, providing high sensitivity across the SWIR and visible wavelength bands from 0.4 to 1.7µm. The standard camera configuration uses a single stage thermoelectric cooler integrated in a sealed package to stabilize the image sensor at 20°C with no moving parts like a cooling fan.
Martin Ettenberg, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Princeton Infrared Technologies, notes, “We are very excited about Vision Systems Design recognizing our new SWIR Megapixel MVCam for machine vision applications. We are honored for our SWIR MVCam to be included in this program.”
