Introducing the NIRvana family of InGaAs cameras - NIR-II/SWIR cameras designed by scientists, for scientists!

The NIRvana family of cameras, which includes the NIRvana and NIRvana ST models, are the only scientific-grade InGaAs cameras on the market specifically designed for quantitative near infrared/shortwave IR (SWIR) imaging and spectroscopy applications. They are a result of Princeton Instruments’ decades of experience and expertise in designing ultra-low noise cameras for scientific and R&D applications.

NIRvana cameras differentiate themselves from other InGaAs cameras (which are designed for industrial night vision applications) by the following performance features:

• Deep Cooling - Unprecedented deep cooling down to -85° C (or -65° C for NIRvana-ST) achieved via maintenance-free thermoelectric cooling.

• Low Dark Noise - Deep cooling coupled with proprietary cold shield design achieves lowest possible dark noise.

• All-metal Vacuum Seals - Scientific-grade InGaAs sensor is encased in an all-metal, permanently sealed vacuum chamber. No re-pumping or regular maintenance is necessary. No cooling degradation over time or troublesome condensation on the sensor.

• High Linearity - Quantitative in low or high light levels.

• Low Read Noise - Ultra-low noise readout electronics.

• High Frame Rate - Up to 110 full frames per second with full triggering support for external synchronization.

• Software and Usability - Optional 64-bit LightField software provides powerful, yet easy to use interface, with real time, online processing at your finger tips. Or easily integrate it into larger experiment using available LabView toolkit.

• Integration Time - Ability to expose as short as 2 μs up to many minutes.
