High Speed, Compact InGaAs Camera

The C-RED 2 Lite is a high-speed, fanless InGaAs camera with a single-stage thermo-electric cooling (TEC1) system, maintaining sensor temperatures between +5ºC and +50ºC. Featuring a state-of-the-art InGaAs sensor with over 70% Quantum Efficiency, it covers the 0.9 to 1.7 µm wavelength range, delivering VGA resolution (640 x 512) and up to 600 fps full frame with 14-bit pixel depth.

Readout Modes and Integration Options:

  • Acquisition Speed: Adjustable from 0.01 to 600 fps
  • Integration Time: Configurable from 20 µs to approximately 1/fps

Readout Modes:

  • Single Read: Captures a full frame before a reset period with correlated double sampling (CDS).
  • Integrated Multiple Readout (IMRO): Enables non-destructive multiple reads, delivering a specified number of frames at the chosen speed, ideal for burst mode.

Cropping and Windowing Capabilities: Select a region of interest (ROI) with a column granularity of 32 and row granularity of 4 to increase speed by focusing on a specific area of the sensor.
