Xlin detector series

High speed NIR line-scan detector

The Xlin series feature a line rate of 40 kHz and a resolution of 512 or 1024 pixels in combination with 12.5 µm pitch. At the highest line resolution of 2048 pixels available for SWIR linescan detectors, Lynx features a line rate of 10 kHz. This unique set of features enables more accurate inspection and smaller particle detection at short  wavelengths than other cameras. This makes the Xlin-1.7 ideal for high-speed imaging applications in machine vision and spectroscopy.

Xlin detectors: Accurate inspection at short wavelengths

The Xlin detector series supports a unique combination of features for high-speed imaging applications in machine vision and spectroscopy. There are three resolution offerings of 512, 1024 and 2048 at different pixel formats ranging from the smallest in the world of 12.5 x 12.5 µm² to 250 µm high rectangular pixels. Due to their high sensititivity and quantum efficiency they operate at very low illumination levels. The high frame rate of 40 kHz (1024 pixels version) and 10 kHz (2048 pixels version) enables a high resolution in the time domain.

The high-resolution InGaAs linear 512, 1024 and 2048 pixel sensors are a hybrid assembly of an array of InGaAs photodiodes connected to a state-of-the art amplifying multiplexer and can be delivered with an optional 3-stage thermo-electric cooler, resulting in a further reduction of the dark current.
