PyLoN-IR Linear InGaAs Cameras
The PyLoN®-IR is a controllerless, cryogenically-cooled photodiode array designed for quantitative scientific spectroscopy applications demanding the highest possible sensitivity. PyLoN-IR replaces the OMA V InGaAs detector linear photodiode array camera and is the ideal camera for high-performance, near-infrared and SWIR spectroscopy. Two models are available with spectral coverage from 800 nm up to 2.2 µm. PyLoN-IR is responsive in UV and visible with high sensitivity from 800 nm to 1.7 µm or 1.0 to 2.2 µm. This InGaAs detector offers 16-bit digitization and leads the industry with the fastest spectral rate (up to 6600 spectra/sec) and lowest system read noise. PyLoN-IR applications include NIR Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Liquid nitrogen cooling greatly reduces dark current, while PyLoN’s indium metal seals enhance its vacuum longevity. PyLoN-IR is supported by Princeton Instruments LightField® 64-bit software as well as PI’s Intellical™ wavelength calibration system.
