  1. Raptor launches a new UV optimised CMOS camera

    Leave a Comment

    Raptor Photonics has launched the Hawk Indigo, using a next generation 2/3” CMOS sensor, enabling ultimate UV sensitivity and high QE of 36% at 250nm. With a pixel size of 2.74µm, the camera achieves a resolution of 8.1MP and offers global shutter, progressive scan technology to enables real time, lag-free images at 15Hz full-frame through a CameraLink interface. The Hawk Indigo is extremely rugged and can be used in harsh environments, working from -20°C to +55°C, with more extreme temperatures on special request. It is ideal for integration into industrial applications offering greater precision in hyperspectral imaging, transparent materials (plastic and PET), semiconductor, wafer and mask inspection, material sorting, combustion imaging and high voltage technology.

  4. Raptor SWIR camera enabling Interferometric Imaging

    Leave a Comment

    The Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer (MROI) will analyse the fringe patterns obtained from multiple pairs of combined beams to reconstruct an image of the target under observation such as imaging geostationary satellites to enhance space situational awareness. The system uses an Owl 640-II camera for SWIR imaging. You can download the App Note here

  6. Raptor SWIR camera used in the “pursuit of happiness”!

    Leave a Comment

    Researchers at Janelia Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, are investigating the vast and complex network necessary for an organism to sense and react to the world. To do this, researchers must study neurons, which are the building blocks of the nervous system. Neurons connect to create complex networks at highly specialized junctions. Individual cells communicate at these ‘synapses’ by releasing chemical signals (or neurotransmitters) such as dopamine. Despite the central role that synapses play in the brain, it remains challenging to measure exactly where neurotransmitters are released and how far they travel from their release site. Currently, most tools available to scientists only allow bulk measurements of neurotransmitter release. Using a Raptor Ninox II Vis-SWIR camera has enabled researchers to study how dopamine is released from subcellular compartments that have previously not been well characterized.

  9. Raptor has made massive strides in developing “Flight Ready” cameras for space.

    Leave a Comment

    Over the last few years, Raptor camera cores have been chosen for several LEO Cubesat programs by a global range of leading space companies. Our VIS and SWIR cameras are being integrated into imaging and spectroscopy solutions used for earth observation and laser communication platforms for a range of applications including #wildfires, #greenhouse #gasleak identification, precision #agriculture, climate change monitoring, asset tracking, 5G communications coverage, providing invaluable, fast and accurate information to scientists back on earth.

    Designed to MilSpec and SWaP optimised, Raptor cores make the ideal camera candidates for LEO cubesat programs, surviving the shock and vibration of launch conditions, temperature extremes and relatively low levels of radiation. This has given us invaluable “space heritage” with some of our cameras on current missions for over four years.

    We understand the stringent electro-optical technical requirements for payloads and we are able to offer innovative custom options including mechanical and electronic layouts. Our InGaAs cameras offer exceptional images from 600-1700nm in a range of resolutions from VGA to HD. Our high-quality sensors and low noise electronics result in exceptional quality images. We are seeing increasing interest from a host of commercial and scientific companies who are working on LEO and ground-based projects.
