The Sensors Unlimited SU320-1.7RT-V/RS170 is an InGaAs near-infrared camera engineered for high-sensitivity imaging across the 0.9 to 1.7 μm spectral range. Operating at room temperature without external cooling, this 320 × 240 pixel area scan camera delivers monochrome progressive imagery at 30 Hz (RS170 analog) or 60 Hz (digital output) with quantum efficiency exceeding 75% from 1.0 to 1.6 μm. The sensor features a 40 μm pixel pitch, 12-bit digital depth, and variable exposure control from 127 μs to 16.27 ms across eight integration steps.
