Xenics Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) Bobcat Gated Series

The Bobcat 320 Gated series is based on an in-house developed, temperature stabilised InGaAs detector with a 320 x 256 pixel resolution.

The Bobcat 320 Gated cameras are able to provide maximum frame rates up to 400 Hz. The exposure time of the sensor is configurable from 100 ns up to 1 ms in steps of 100 ns, or from 1 ms to 40 ms.

The camera comes with either CameraLink or GigE Vision interface.

Benefits & Features

• Extremely short 100 ns integration time
• Programmable trigger-out
• CameraLink or GigE Vision interfacing options
• Small SWIR area-scan camera
