Edmund Optics’s Thomas Armspach-Young and Boris Lange consider the optics needed to get the best out of Sony's new short-wave infrared image sensors
ATD Electronique as a major distributor of Sony image sensors announces that Sony has developed a cutting edge sensor technology combining visible wavelength and SWIR
Sony Semiconductor Solutions has launched a new image sensor for high-end surveillance cameras
The sensors boast a pixel pitch of 5μm thanks to Sony's stacking technology using a copper-to-copper connection. They also deliver high quantum efficiency even in the visible range
InGaAs and event-based sensors still rely on silicon CMOS readout ICs
Greg Blackman explores the work being done on InGaAs sensors, along with other types of novel sensor that could find their way into the machine vision market
Image from the event-based sensor
Sony and Prophesee have developed a stacked event-based vision sensor, it was announced at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco
Sony Semiconductor Solutions has launched a new image sensor for surveillance cameras, factory automation applications, and industrial environments. It is available from Framos
Sony Semiconductor Solutions has launched an image sensor for compact security applications. The IMX415 combines the Starvis technology for excellent visibility in low light surveillance with Prior Low Noise Circuit technology for better SNR
The new sensor modules in the Framos ecosystem now also support the Sony IMX283 CMOS sensor, extending the present resolution range to 20 megapixels
