  • Raptor launches ultrafast and sensitive EMCCD camera for under $25K

    Raptor Photonics has released the Kestrel, an ultra-fast EMCCD camera, offering single-photon sensitivity at KHz frame rates for under $25K. Using a cooled back-illuminated sensor, it offers ultra-high sensitivity from 350nm to 1100nm with a peak QE of 95% at 600nm. Designed with a scientific grade 16-bit A/D converter, it has a resolution of 128 […]

  • Imaging Venus with a Ninox 640 SWIR Camera

    Raptor Photonics has published a new application note based on the work of a German researcher, Dr. Sebastian Voltmer, who has been looking at the inner planet Venus as a Ring next to the sun and how the crescent is getting bigger. He was able to capture the very faint radiation beyond 1000 nm of […]

  • Passive digital night vision is now possible with Raptor’s Owl 640 N

    With ultra-low readout noise (<18e-) and dark current, the Owl 640 N is the first advanced SWIR camera with digital night vision capability. The sensor is 640 x 512 with 15μm square pixel pitch and offers visible SWIR wavelength coverage of 600-1700nm. It is temperature stabilized, ultra-compact and low power making it ideal for a […]

  • New Tech Note – Understanding Electron Multiplying Gain

    Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD) cameras, such as the Falcon III, can be used to detect very weak signals, which would otherwise be lost within the noise floor of the camera. Using a conventional CCD to detect these very weak signals, usually requires both long exposure times (to integrate a detectable amount of signal) and slow […]
