Photon Etc.

Extending the boundaries of industrial imaging, Photon etc. has developed affordable SWIR cameras sensitive from 800 nm to 2.9 µm. Using a sensitive InGaAs or HgCdTe (MCT) FPA, ZEPHIR™ collects images at an astounding 340 frame-per-second rate while reaching unrivalled low noise levels with the integration of a four-stage TE cooler. Our BOREA™ line uses a Stirling micro cooler and has lower noise levels than its TE cooled competitors. Initially designed for demanding faint flux applications such as hyperspectral imaging, our cameras are well-suited for spectroscopy, astronomy, or industrial applications in quality control and sorting.

LUMINESCENCE MICROSCOPY IMAGING IMA™ is an ultrafast and all-in-one customizable hyperspectral microscopy platform of high spatial and spectral resolution. The completely integrated system rapidly maps diffuse reflectance, transmittance, photoluminescence, electroluminescence and fluorescence in the VIS-NIR-SWIR spectral range. Based on high throughput global imaging filters, IMA™ is faster and more efficient than scanning spectrograph-based hyperspectral systems.

The global hyperspectral Raman imager (RIMA™) developed by Photon etc. offers a unique solution for rapid spectral and spatial characterization of advanced materials over large areas (up to 1 mm x 1 mm and more). By combining this rich information obtained from Raman spectroscopic fingerprints with the speed of global hyperspectral imaging, RIMA™ extends the limits of sample analysis and is a powerful non-invasive imaging modality for material and biomedical sciences.

The Laser Line Tunable Filter (LLTF) is a non-dispersive tunable bandpass filter based on volume holographic gratings. It delivers the highest signal throughput in the industry and is also unique in that it combines very high optical density (> OD6) and outstanding out-of-band rejection with wide tunability. A single filter can be tuned from 400 nm to 1000 nm (VIS) or 1000 nm to 2300 nm (SWIR), with bandwidths (FWHM) of <2.5 nm and <5 nm respectively. Custom and extended spectral ranges (up to 2500 nm) and bandwidths (sub-nm) are also available. Photon etc’s LLTF can be coupled with a supercontinuum laser to provide a Tunable Laser Source (TLS); the LLTF is compatible with any VIS-NIR broadband source but is optimized for Fianium's, NKT Photonics' and Leukos' supercontinuum sources.
