Lano Photonics LANO 990/991 Specifications
Ranked Nr. 238 of 126 2D Vision Systems
Lano Photonic's LANO 990 and LANO 991 are cooled short-wavelength infrared cameras that utilize Sony's IMX990 and IMX991 InGaAs sensors with square sum pixel arrays. These sensors have a wide-band response of 0.4um-l.7um and low defect pixel ratios, resulting in high sensitivity with low FPN noise. The cameras include a 25mm filter holder, and the SWIR filter can be easily installed inside the camera. Both air cooling and liquid cooling versions are available, with the latter being recommended for applications requiring longer exposures.
Sony's original SenSWIR technology is employed in the LANO 990 and 991, where photodiodes are formed on an InGaAs compound semiconductor layer and are connected via Cu-Cu connection with the silicon Si layer, enabling high-sensitivity over a broad range of wavelengths. This technology allows for compact SWIR image sensors that are capable of capturing images over a broad range of wavelengths covering from the visible to the invisible light spectrum, which is not visible to the human eye. Therefore, these cameras contribute to the development of diversitying industrial equipment and testing equipment for various applications.
The LANO 990 and 991 have a high image quality and a more compact sensor size thanks to miniaturization, as well as high sensitivity imaging in a broad range of wavelengths covering both the visible and invisible spectrum. They also support digital output, matching the performance of current CMOS image sensors for industrial equipment. These features make the cameras suitable for various applications such as material selection, contaminant inspection, and semiconductor inspection, aiming to contribute to improved productivity.
One of the challenges in miniaturizing SWIR image sensors is securing a certain bump pitch when bonding the InGaAs layer, which forms the light receiving photodiodes, and the Si layer. However, the LANO 990 and 991 feature a smaller pixel pitch made possible by the Cu-Cu connection, resulting in the industry's smallest square pixel size. This design enables imaging in a broad range of wavelengths from 0.4 um to 1.7 um, enabling the use of a single camera instead of multiple ones, reducing system costs and faster speeds.
Overall, the LANO 990 and 991 are advanced SWIR cameras that offer high sensitivity and image quality, miniaturization, and broad-range imaging capabilities, contributing to various industrial applications.
