Q1 : SWIR1503A Series Camera - -20°C Cooling and 15μm Large Pixels: Key Hardware Advantages and Their Application Benefits?
-20℃ Cooling Advantage (Ambient Temperature 20℃, Dark Current <100fA)
Most similar models on the market only achieve –5℃/-10℃ cooling. This unit’s deep cooling significantly reduces dark current, making it ideal for photovoltaic EL, biological fluorescence, and low-light long-timing experiments. Long exposures won’t produce white fog or noise, and weak-light imaging stability is greatly improved.15μm Extra-Large Pixel Advantage
Compared to models with 3.45μm/5μm small pixels, each pixel here has a larger photosensitive area and higher full-well capacity, so bright light won’t easily overexpose, and low-light scenes have better signal-to-noise ratio. It’s perfect for low-brightness, long-exposure industrial and research applications. The 3/4 inch large sensor also covers bigger workpieces in a single shot, reducing the cost of multi-camera stitching.Q2 : What’s the difference between the SWIR1503AU and SWIR1503ACL models, and how should you choose?
The SWIR1503A series cameras all come with high-performance InGaAs sensors with the same pixel size, resolution, and cooling—only the transmission interface differs.
The SWIR1503AU (USB3.0) works with the standard AttosView software, no extra capture card needed. It’s good for short-distance transmission, fitting for lab desktop setups, small offline inspections, short-range laser observations, and portable spectrometers.
The SWIR1503ACL (CameraLink) comes with the AttosView-specialized CLView software and requires a CameraLink capture card. It’s suitable for traditional research spectroscopy platforms, high-frame dynamic laser monitoring, and fixed, long-term research equipment.
Q3 : Which systems does AttosView support, and what native image analysis tools does it come with?
System Compatibility: AttosView is compatible with Windows 7/10/11 64-bit; the SWIR1503ACL model also comes with dedicated CLView acquisition software.
Built-in Features: Video / software & hardware dual trigger, auto / manual exposure, three-level gain switching, image flipping, up to 12 sets of custom dark field correction, histogram, profile line, pixel grayscale reading, grayscale statistics for custom areas, timestamping, firmware online upgrade, hardware noise reduction.
