Leuven, Belgium, February 18, 2013 — Xenics, Europe’s only developer and manufacturer of advanced InGaAs detector solutions and covering the complete infrared wavelength, is proving the breadth of its in-house design and production capabilities at IDEX 2013. Xenics will announce a new family of high resolution OEM modules based on the same interface for both SWIR and LWIR for demanding applications such as night vision (active and passive), UAV (defense, surveillance and fire fighting), homeland security and search and rescue missions (SAR). Xenics exhibits booth#12-C20.

XenicsCores for government system integrators

XenicsCores is a new family of high-resolution infrared OEM modules offering easy integration and excellent image quality. The first two members are the Xenics Short Wave module XSW-640 and the Xenics Thermal Module XTM-640. These compact uncooled OEM modules are light-weight, low-power consuming and easy-to-integrate in the customer’s application via the universal QTE connector. Longer Detection, Recognition and Identification distances are possible thanks to the small size of the pixels of
the detector.

Night Vision

The night sky glows in the SWIR range up to 2 μm and this light is even brighter than the half moon. Xenics’ XSW-640 OEM modules, sensitive in this SWIR range, can help discover the night scene and offer a lot of flexibility compared to solutions based on image intensifier tubes. The risk of blinding the sensor by light flashes is almost completely eliminated. These modules are very compact and require limited power, enabling handheld or helmet mounted operations. The on-board software allows displaying a high quality image for a large variety of situations.

The XSW-640 OEM modules can be easily combined with uncooled thermal modules, such as our XTM-640 to boost the detection, recognition and identification to unseen levels. The thermal channel will help revealing threats, where the SWIR channel is possibly falling short, while the identification of suspects is done by the SWIR channel, which yields imagery comparable with visible cameras.
