Intensified 16 bit sCMOS pco.dicam C1
After more than 30 years of experience with image intensified cameras, PCO is proud to introduce the new pco.dicam C1. It is the first camera system with image intensifier technology that harnesses the full power of the sCMOS sensor. Unique is the optical connection of the high-resolution 25 mm image intensifier to the 16 bit sCMOS sensor via an efficient tandem lens. Individual photons are detected using the shortest exposure times. A sustained frame rate of 104 fps at 4.2 MPix resolution and 16 bit dynamic is now reality for the first time with intensified cameras. It’s not only the fast sCMOS sensor but also the ultra-fast CLHS interface that have opened the door to an unprecedented intensified image data rate of up to 1187 MB/s.
The pco.dicam C1’s tandem lens system consists of two lenses. The imaging path goes from the focal plane of the first lens to infinity so that all rays emitted from a single object point are converted into a parallel bunch of rays. The second lens is focused to infinity and therefore brings the parallel bunch of rays back to focus in a single image point in the focal plane where the sensor is positioned. As both lenses are used just for a single imaging task, their optical design can be perfectly optimized without any compromise. This optimization guarantees high transmission efficiency as well as perfect image quality, free of artifacts. In addition, image intensifiers with glass output window can be used, which show about 30% higher emission to comparable intensifiers with fiber optical output, which are used for taper coupled systems.
