Cheetah-640: World's fastest InGaAs camera

The Cheetah-640 is a near infrared camera that employs a 640 x 512 InGaAs FPA. The Cheetah-640 NIR camera head interfaces to a PC via GigE and CameraLink. The camera has internal memory of up to 16 GB which allows to save up to 15 seconds of full sized images at maximum framerate (1730 fps). The Cheetah-640 is perfectly suited for applications that require high resolution at high frame rate operation.

Cheetah-640: World's fastest InGaAs camera

Key features

  • InGaAs detector; >99% pixel operability
  • 0.9 to 1.7 µm sensitivity
  • 640 x 512 pixels
  • Framerate 400Hz, 1730Hz
  • GigE and CameraLink interfaces
  • Single Stage Peltier cooler
  • External trigger input
  • Two gain modes

Cheetah-640: High Quality, high flexibility

The Cheetah-640 near infrared camera is the fastest infrared camera in the world. This unit is equipped with a dedicated high-speed InGaAs detector array working up to 1.7µm and comes in a 400 and 1700 Hz speed version. It allows you to visualize the ultra high-speed features of your specific research application.

The camera records images into 16 GB of internal memory, which allows for up to 8 seconds of recording at full speed. Interfacing with the PC is done via GigE or CameraLink. The Cheetah-640 is delivered with a graphical user interface Xeneth, which offers direct access to various camera settings. The software tool also features two-point uniformity correction and bad pixel replacement.
