Description
Thermopile detectors directly sense thermal radiation, providing
the perfect device for remotely measuring temperatures without
the need for any mechanical chopper. PerkinElmer’s proprietary
and innovative Si-based micromachining technology guarantees
a new generation of components: extreme long-term stability,
very low temperature coefficient in sensitivity, and excellent
repeatability of electro-optical parameters.
Thermopile sensors allow remote temperature sensing at a low
system cost. The sensor does not require cooling, and can reach
an accuracy of ±1°C, dependent on the measurement range.
For narrow temperature ranges, as in body temperature measure-
ment, a precision of 0.1°C is possible.
Thermopile Modules with Integrated Signal Processing:
TPMI®Series
For convenient use, PerkinElmer offers thermopile sensors with
an integrated electronic circuit for the necessary signal condi-
tion and ambient temperature compensation – the TPMI®. This
very compact and miniature thermopile module is offered as a
fully calibrated, ready-to-go sensor. Various temperature ranges
and optics are available.
Isothermal Housing
Fast temperature changes and temperature gradients are known
to influence the output signal of thermal radiation sensors such
as thermopiles and generate a measurement error. Therefore,
PerkinElmer has developed a novel housing concept with large
thermal mass and thermal conductivity. This sensor provides a
stable signal even in demanding industrial, automotive, or med-
ical applications such as ear thermometers, where high accuracy
is required while the sensor is exposed to external heat sources.
Single-Element Thermopile Detectors: TPS Series
The different available chip sizes and packaging types, together
with the variety in window openings with and without a silicon
lens, different filters, enable the adaptation of the PerkinElmer
thermopiles to virtually every application where a remote
temperature measurement or control is needed.
Dual- and Quad-Element Types: TPS 2, TPS 4 Series
PerkinElmer offers thermopile detectors with two or four channels,
each of which can be equipped with one of the many available
infrared spectral bandpass filters. The main application of multiple
channel thermopiles is gas detection through IR absorption.
Prominent gases to be detected are CO2, hydrocarbons and CO.
Thermopile Line and Matrix Arrays: TPL, TPA Series
The new TPA- (matrix array) and TPL- (line array) series offer
multi-element thermopile arrays combined with an optical lens,
amplifier, and interface electronics (multiplexer, ambient
temperature sensor) in a compact TO-39-type housing. Array
sensors are sold as a modular type, i.e. on a PCB with external
data memory. These TPA- and TPL-Modules are precalibrated
with the data stored in an EEPROM.
All thermopile detectors are RoHS compliant.

Pyroelectric Basics
Pyroelectric materials produce a charge shift when they undergo
a change in thermal energy. This effect is applied for detectors
that show an output signal similar to alternative current with a
change of incident infrared radiation. Such pyroelectric detec-
tors are used in all kinds of motion detection. Detectors based
on the same principle are applied for gas monitoring based on
the spectral absorption method.
Dual Element Types
Dual Element Detectors combine two elements which are
connected in reverse polarity to each other to one FET source
follower output. Typical applications: intrusion alarm PIR,
motion detection for light switches.
Four Element Two Channel Types
Four Element Detectors combine four elements to two FET
outputs. The two individual channels allow signal processing to
avoid false alarms and provide redundancy. Typical applications:
high end intrusion alarms.
Ceiling Mount Detectors
Ceiling Mount Detectors have a special element configuration
suitable for ceiling lens designs. They combine two or four
elements to one FET output. Different window sizes for cost
optimization and optional RF protection is available.
Applications: presence detection and alarms.
Single Element Detectors
This range of detectors offer one element with source follower
output. Different element sizes are available. Most of the
preferred types have built-in thermal compensation. Special
IR windows of narrow bandwidth are offered. Applications:
non-contact temperature measurements and gas monitors.
Dual Channel Detectors
These special designs offer two Single Element Detectors
in one TO-5 case. Each one is equipped with its individual
filter and provides its own output. This is also available in
temperature compensated version. Various narrow-band filter
windows can be chosen. Application: gas monitor, gas alarms.
DigiPyroTM Family
To enable total digital electronics, PerkinElmer introduces
a new family of pyrodetectors with digital output.
All pyroelectric infrared detectors are RoHS compliant.

Natural Gas Alarm Sensor (PYM 151)
PerkinElmer introduces a number of gas sensors based on a
common platform, all based on the principle of non-dispersive
infrared radiation absorption (NDIR). A robust thermal IR source
and a highly reliable dual channel pyroelectric detector are the
core of the sensor cell, which is detemined in size by an absorp-
tion chamber. In the event of the specified gas diffusing into the
chamber, the signal is reduced accordingly and the included
electronics generate a signal output.
Pyroelectric detectors are especially suited for optical IR-based
gas detection due to their robustness and low sensitivity to
environmental temperature influences. A selective IR window
in the detector allows the precise spectral selection of a gas.
Appropriate electronics are required for obtaining a user-friendly
signal. A microprocessor converts the amplified sensor signal
into a gas concentration value. The PerkinElmer gas sensor
range is featured with pre-programmed calibration and enables
safe long term operation.
The gas sensors include the following versions:
SerinusTM CO2Sensor (PYM 122-1): Air Quality
Calibrated to meet the air quality application range of
0 to 5000 ppm CO2content. It provides a 16-bit digitally
coded output signal and two additional fixed trigger levels
as switched outputs (800 ppm / 1500 ppm).
SerinusTM CO2Sensor (PYM 122-2): Air Safety
Calibrated to meet the air quality application range of
0 to 10% CO2content. It provides a 16-bit digitally coded
output signal and two additional fixed trigger levels as
switched outputs (2% / 5%).

Designed for natural gas alarm applications. It fully meets
requirements of EN 50194 standard for gas alarm, calibrated to
offer a Pre-Alert at 6% LEL and Main Alert at 12% LEL. It pro-
vides a 16-bit digitally coded output signal and self-diagnosis.

Photodiodes
Description
PerkinElmer Optoelectronics offers a broad array of Silicon and
InGaAs PIN and APDs.
InGaAs Avalanche Photodiodes
The high-quality InGaAs avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are
packaged in hermetically sealed TO cans and ceramic blocks
designed for the 900 to 1700 nm wavelength region.
InGaAs PIN Photodiodes
High-quality Indium Gallium Arsenide photodiodes designed
for the 900 to 1700 nm wavelength region, these photodiodes
are available in standard sizes ranging from 50 microns to 5 mm
in diameter. Packages include ceramic submount, TO packages,
and chip form.
Silicon Avalanche Photodiodes
These are reliable, high-quality detectors in hermetically sealed
TO packages designed for high-speed and high-gain applications.
A “reach-through” structure is utilized which provides very low
noise performance at high gains and a full range of active areas.
Silicon PIN Photodiodes
Offered for low- to high-speed applications, these PINs are
designed for the 250 nm to 1100 nm range. Standard sizes range
from 100 microns to 10 mm in diameter.
Silicon PN Photodiodes
This format includes a variety of high-volume, low-cost silicon
photodiodes that meet the demanding requirements of today’s
commercial and consumer markets.
Selective Photodiodes
These GaP and GaAIAs-based photodiodes provide high sensitivity
and a narrow spectral response without additional filtering.
As SMD components they are ready for automated treatment.
Alternate Source/Second Source Photodiodes
PerkinElmer’s nearest equivalent devices are selected on the
basis of general similarity of electro-optical characteristics and
mechanical configuration. Interchangeability in any particular
application is not guaranteed, suitability should be determined
by the customer's own evaluation.
Detector Modules
Preamplifier modules are hybrid devices with a photodiode
and a matching amplifier in a compact hermetic TO package.
An integral amplifier allows for better ease of use and noise
bandwidth performance. 14-pin, DIL, and/or fibered packaged
modules are available on a custom basis.
All photodiodes are RoHS compliant.

Description
Phototransistors are photodiode-amplifier combinations
integrated within a single silicon chip. These are combined to
overcome the major fault of photodiodes: unity gain. Many
applications demand a greater output signal from the photodetector
than can be generated by a photodiode alone. While the signal
from a photodiode can always be amplified through use of an
external op-amp or other circuitry, this approach is often not as
practical or as cost-effective as the use of phototransistors. The
phototransistor can be viewed as a photodiode whose output
photocurrent is fed into the base of a conventional small-signal
transistor. While not required for operation of the device as a
photodetector, a base connection is often provided, allowing the
designer the option of using base current to bias the transistor. The
typical gain of a phototransistor can range from 100 to over 1500.
Phototransistors can be used as ambient-light detectors. When
used with a controllable light source, typically an IRED, they
are often employed as the detector element for optoisolators and
transmissive or reflective optical switches.
All phototransistors are RoHS compliant.

Description
PerkinElmer Optoelectronics’ infrared switches are ideal for non-
contact sensing applications. The emitter is generally an IR LED and
the detector is either a phototransistor or a photodarlington.
Optoswitches, Optical Hybrids, and Custom Optical Assemblies
Optoswitches, optical hybrids, custom assemblies, photodiodes,
phototransistors, IR emitters, and photoconductive cells are
commonly used in industrial, commercial, and consumer
electronics applications. This product line is one of the broadest
in the industry and includes a variety of standard catalog
products as well as custom design and manufacturing capabilities.
Approximately 75% of the products shipped are custom designed
and tested to serve the needs of specific OEM applications.
Reflective Optoswitches
Reflective optical switches combine an infrared-emitting diode
(IRED) with an NPN phototransistor or photodarlington in a one-
piece, sealed, IR-transmitting plastic case or ceramic SMD-package.
Sealed construction improves resistance to moisture and debris.
Units are available with PC-board mounting leads (VTR16D1),
or 12-inch, #26 AWG flying leads (VTR17D1).
Transmissive Optoswitches
Interrupter-type optical switches combine an infrared-emitting
diode (IRED) with an NPN phototransistor. Units are available
in two different case styles; a one-piece, sealed, IR-transmitting
plastic case (VTL11 and VTL13 series) and an opaque case
(VTL23 series). Options also include apertures-over-detector
and/or emitter, and either PC-board mount leads or 12-inch,
#26 AWG leads (VTL13 only).
All infrared switches are RoHS compliant.

Technical Specification
Specification Notes
The case material is polysulfone and should be cleaned with
alcohol or freon TF only. Avoid chlorinated hydrocarbons and
solvents such as acetone or toluene, as damage may result.
The light current is measured using a 90% reflective surface
at a specified distance.
The dark current is measured with the part totally shielded
from ambient light. With 2150 lux (200 from a cool white
fluorescent lamp perpendicular to the sensing axis, the
detector current will be typically 3 µA. The same illumination
concentric to the sensing axis will result in a detector current
of 50 µA. Equivalent light from an incandescent lamp will
result in significantly greater currents.
With the specified IRED forward current and no reflecting
surface, the crosstalk is typically less than 3 µA.
Accommodates most applications.

Description
Photocells or Light-Dependent Resistors can provide a very
economical and technically superior solution for many applications
where the presence or absence of light is sensed (digital operation)
or where the intensity of light needs to be measured (analog
operation).
Semiconductor light detectors can be divided into two major
categories: junction and bulk-effect devices. Junction devices,
when operated in the photoconductive mode, utilize the reverse
characteristic of a PN junction. Under reverse bias, the PN junction
acts as a light-controlled current source. Output is proportional
to incident illumination and is relatively independent of applied
voltage. Silicon photodiodes are examples of this type of detector.
In contrast, bulk-effect photoconductors have no junction. The
bulk resistivity decreases with increasing illumination, allowing
more photocurrent to flow. This resistive characteristic gives
bulk-effect photoconductors a unique quality: signal current from
the detector can be varied over a wide range by adjusting the
applied voltage. To clearly make this distinction, PerkinElmer
Optoelectronics refers to its bulk-effect photoconductors as
photoconductive cells or, simply, photocells.
Photocells are thin-film devices made by depositing a layer
of a photoconductive material on a ceramic substrate. Metal
contacts are evaporated over the surface of the photoconductor and
external electrical connection is made to these contacts. These thin
films of photoconductive material have a high sheet resistance.
Therefore, the space between the two contacts is made narrow
and interdigitated for low cell resistance at moderate light levels.

Specification Notes
Photocells categorized into groups by resistance. All
groups must be purchased together and PerkinElmer
maintains the right to determine the product mix among
these groups.
Dimensions controlled at base of package.
Photocells are tested at either 1 fc or 10 lux. 2 typical
values shown in the tables are for reference only.
Cells are light-adapted at 30–50 fc.
The photocell “grid” pattern can vary from that shown.
PerkinElmer reserves the right to change mix grid patterns
on any standard product.
The resistance for any standard cell is controlled at only
one light level. If the resistance at other light levels is a
concern, please contact us.

Description
PerkinElmer Optoelectronics has been a leading manufacturer of
analog optical isolators (AOI) for over twenty years and makes a
broad range of standard parts under its trademark VACTROL®.
There are many kinds of optical isolators, but the most common
is the LED/phototransistor type. Other familiar types use output
elements such as light-sensitive SCRs, Triacs, FETs and ICs. The
major application for these silicon-based devices is to provide
electrical isolation of digital lines connected between different
pieces of equipment. The principle of operation is very simple.
When an input current is applied to the LED, the output photo-
transistor turns on. The only connection between the LED and
phototransistor is through light—not electricity—thus the term
optical isolator. These optical isolators are primarily digital in
nature with fast response times for interfacing with logic gates.
Rise and fall times of a few microseconds, faster for some
isolators, are typical.
The AOI also uses an optical link between input and output.
The input element is an LED and the output element is always
a photoconductive cell or, simply a photocell. Together, the
coupled pair act as an electrically variable potentiometer. Since
the output element of the AOI is a resistor, the voltage applied
to this output resistor may be DC and/or AC and the magnitude
may be as low as zero or as high as the maximum voltage rating.
Because the input will control the magnitude of a complex
waveform in a proportional manner, this type of isolator is an
analog-control element. AOIs may be used in the ON-OFF mode
but the fastest response time is only in the millisecond range.
A level-sensitive Schmitt trigger is required between the AOI
and logic gates when used in digital circuits.

Analog Optical Isolators—
VTL5C Series
PerkinElmer Optoelectronics’ line of
AOIs consists of a light-tight package
which houses a light source and one or
more photoconductive cells. Through
control of the input current or voltage
applied to the AOI, the output resistance
can be varied. The output resistance can
be made to switch between an “on” and
“off” state or made to track the input
signal in an analog manner. Because a
small change in input signal can cause a
large change in output resistance, AOIs
have been found to provide a very eco-
nomical and technically superior solu-
tion for many applications.

Technical Specification
Specification Notes
LED Current: Since the input has a substantially constant
voltage drop, a current-limiting resistance is required.
ON Resistance: Dark adapted resistance measured after 24
or more hours of no input.
OFF Resistance: Measured 10 sec. after removal of the input.
The ultimate resistance is many times greater than the value
at 10 sec.
Response Time: Ascent measured to 63% of final conductance
from the application of 40 mA input. The conductance rise time
to a specified value is increased at reduced input drive while
the conductance decay time to a specified value is decreased.
Typical matching and tracking from 0.4 to 40 mA is 25%.
Measured 5 sec. after removal of the input. The ultimate
resistance is many times greater than the value at 5 sec.
VTL5C9 response times are based on a 2 mA input. VTL5C10
response times are based on a 10 mA input
for ascent time and a 1 mA input for decay time.

Description
PerkinElmer Optoelectronics’ Channel Photomultiplier (CPM)
is an ultra-high sensitivity optical detector capable of replacing
conventional photomultipliers (PMTs). This device uses a proprietary
detector principle to produce ultra-high gain and dynamic range,
extremely low noise, and fast response within a compact form
factor. These detectors are available as components or in complete
modules designed for DC operation and photon counting. All
modules are gateable by an external TTL pulse for time-resolved
measurements.
Modules
MD Series DC-Module—contains the CPM, a high-voltage
power supply, an amplifier with I/U conversion, and an active
quenching circuit for high light protection.
MP Series Photon Counting Module—
The Photon Counting
Head MP
series
contains the Channel Photomultiplier, a high-
voltage power supply, a discrimination amplifier and a pulse
shaper for fast output pulses.
MH Series Channel Photomultiplier Head Module—The
Channel Photomultiplier module MH series is designed for
both photon counting and DC operating modes. It contains an
adjustable high-voltage supply and a Channel Photomultiplier.
MP 96X-2, MP 97X-2 Single Photon Counting Module—
These modules are specially designed for particle sizing
measurement with 530 nm and 632 nm laser excitation light.
Based on the standard multialkali photocathode, the sen-
sitive diameter is reduced to 2 mm in order to achieve an
excellent low dark- count performance.
Power Supply
CHV 30N—A self-contained high-voltage supply specially
designed for the Channel Photomultipliers CPM C900, C1300
and C1900. It provides the matching voltages for the cathode,
channel entrance, and channel end.
CHV 30P—The equivalent power supply for positive high voltage,
suitable for photon counting and pulse mode applications.
All given values are nominal/typical at 20˚C ambient temperature;
specifications are subject to change without notice.
Principle of Operation
The CPM converts a very low light level into photoelectrons
through a semitransparent photocathode deposited on the inner
surface of the entrance window. On their way from the cathode to
the anode, the photoelectrons pass through a narrow semiconduc-
tive channel. Each time the electrons hit the inner surface of the
curved channel, multiple secondary electrons are emitted. This effect
occurs multiple times along the path, leading to an avalanche
effect with a gain exceeding 108. The curved shape of the glass tube
improves the multiplication effect.

Description
PerkinElmer Optoelectronics provides photon counting modules
based on both APDs and innovative Channel Photomultipliers.
APD Based Single Photon Counting Modules
The Single Photon Counting Module (SPCM) is a self-contained
photon counter which covers the wavelength range from 400 nm
to 1100 nm, with photon detection efficiencies exceeding 60%
at 650 nm. It has an integral 2-stage TE cooler, cooler controller,
amplifier, discriminator and TTL output driver. It also contains
a high-voltage DC-to-DC converter and is powered from a single
5 V source. The module utilizes a patented active-quench
circuit which allows it to count over 30 million photons per
second. The photosensitive area is 180 µ, and units are
available with dark-count rates less than 25 counts / second.
SPCM-AQ4C Single Photon Counting Array
The SPCM-AQ4C is a 4-channel photon counting card capable
of detecting single photons of light over a wavelength range
from 400 nm to 1100 nm. Each channel is independent from
the others. The SPCM-AQ4C utilizes a unique silicon avalanche
photodiode (SliK) with a circular active area whose peak
photon-detection efficiency exceeds 60% at 650 nm. Each
photodiode is both thermoelectrically cooled and temperature
controlled, ensuring stabilized performance despite changes
in the ambient temperature.
All standard Single Photon Counting Modules are RoHS
compliant.

Description
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are solid-state P-N junction
devices that emit light when forward biased. An IRED is an
Infrared Emitting Diode, a term specifically applied to
PerkinElmer IR emitters. Unlike incandescent lamps, which emit
light over a very broad range of wavelengths, LEDs emit light
over such a narrow bandwidth that they appear to be emitting
a single “color”. Their small size, long operating lifetimes, low
power consumption, compatibility with solid-state drive
circuitry, and relatively low cost make LEDs the preferred light
source in many applications.
LEDs are made from a wide range of semiconductor materials.
The emitted peak wavelength depends on the semiconductor
material chosen and how it is processed. LEDs can be made that
emit in the visible or near-infrared part of the spectrum.
The P-N junction is formed by doping one region of the material
with donor atoms and the adjacent region with acceptor atoms.
Like all P-N junction devices, LEDs exhibit the familiar diode
current-voltage characteristics. LEDs emit light only when they
are biased in the forward direction. Under forward-biased
conditions, carriers are given enough energy to overcome the
potential barrier existing at the junction. After crossing the junction,
these carriers will recombine. A percentage of the carriers will
recombine by a radiative process in which the hole-electron
recombination energy is released as a photon of light. The
remaining carriers recombine by a non-radiative process and give
up their energy in the form of heat. The amount of light generated,
or power output of the LED, varies almost linearly with forward
current. Doubling the forward current approximately doubles
the power output.
880 nm IREDs
This series of infrared emitting diodes (IREDs) consists of three
standard chips in nine different packages that provide a broad
range of mounting, lens and power-output options.
940 nm IREDs
This series of infrared emitting diodes (IREDs) consists of two
standard chips in three different packages.
All infrared emitting diodes are RoHS compliant.

Description
Pulsed Laser Diodes
These devices range in wavelength from 850 nm to 1550 nm
and are produced using Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and
MOCVD growth techniques. Fiber optic pigtailed devices
employ an advanced fibre alignment process yielding highly
stable fiber to laser diode positioning. Alternative packages and
fiber optic core diameters may be supplied on a custom basis.
Multiple Epi-Cavity Lasers
In order to multiply the power output of our laser diodes while
not increasing the drive current, we offer epitactically stacked
devices which contain a series of 2 to 3 active laser diode layers.
This way the double or triple power output (compared to single
devices) is generated within a height of 10 µm. The width of the
optically active area on the laser crystal is variable, standard
types have 75 and 225 µm.
High Energy Laser Diodes—Quasi CW Lasers
These devices have been designed specifically to meet the
demanding requirements of laser initiated ordnance (LIO)
applications. Product offerings include a 9.0 mm TO-style
package and an 8 pin miniDIL pigtailed package equipped with
a rear facet monitor photodiode and 100/140 Ìm optical fiber.
The 980 nm laser chip employs advanced epitaxial materials
and processing techniques, providing reliable high optical
power output capability and significant power retention at
elevated temperatures. Alternate package outlines and fiber
optic core diameters may be considered on a custom basis.
Please ask for our RoHS compliant products.

Description
Line scan sensors are ideal for imaging objects in motion on
webs or conveyors. Applications range from inspection of lead
frames and labels to scanning mail and parcels.
P-Series Linear Photodiode Array Imagers
In P-series linear imagers, PerkinElmer has combined the best
features of high-sensitivity photodiode array detection and high-
speed, charge-coupled scanning to offer an uncompromising
solution to the increasing demands of advanced imaging
applications. These high-performance imagers feature low noise,
high sensitivity, impressive charge-storage capacity, and lag-free
dynamic imaging in a convenient 1-output architecture. The
14 µm square contiguous pixels in these imagers reproduce
images with minimum information loss and artifact generation,
while their unique photodiode structure provides excellent blue
response extending below 200 nm in the ultraviolet.
The two-phase CCD readout registers require only modest clocking
voltages, yet achieve excellent charge-transfer efficiency.
Additional electrodes provide independent control of exposure
and antiblooming. Finally, high-sensitivity readout amplifiers
provide a large-output signal to relax the noise requirements
on the camera electronics that follow. These versatile imagers
are available in array lengths of 512 to 4096 elements with
either low-cost glass or UV-enhanced fused silica windows.
PerkinElmer Optoelectronics also maintains capabilities to
manufacture line scan imagers up to 8192 pixels combined
with 4 outputs and 7 or 14µm pixels with existing designs.
Contact PerkinElmer for more information.
All line scan imagers are RoHS compliant.

Description
For nearly thirty years, PerkinElmer Optoelectronics has been
a leader in the development of sensors for spectroscopy. In
spectroscopy and other instrumentation applications, large pixels,
very high charge storage capacity, low readout noise and dark
current, and direct access to the charge packet are all critical
to delivering the high dynamic range and linear response
demanded. The CMOS photodiode array architecture meets
all of these needs in a way no other sensor technology can
match.
L-Series Visible Range Spectroscopy Arrays
PerkinElmer Optoelectronics’ L-series CMOS linear photodiode
arrays offer a high-quality, low-cost solution for spectroscopy
and colorimetry applications in the 300–1000 nm range. The
L-Series family’s combination of high sensitivity, low dark current,
low switching noise and high saturation charge provides excellent
dynamic range and great flexibility in setting integration time.
L-series sensors consist of a linear array of silicon photodiodes,
each connected to a MOS switch for readout controlled by an
integrated shift register scanning circuit. Under external clock
control, the shift register sequentially enables each of the
switches, directing the charge on the associated photodiode to
an output line. A dummy output provides clock noise cancellation.
L-series devices are mounted in ceramic side-brazed, 22-pin,
dual-inline packages with ground and polished fused silica
windows and are pin-compatible with earlier PerkinElmer SB-
and TB-series sensors.
L-series models are available with pixel spacings of 25 µm
and 50 µm and lengths from 128 to 1024 pixels. All models
feature a 2500 µm pixel aperture to simplify alignment
in spectroscopic instruments.
All CMOS photodiode arrays are RoHS compliant.

Principle of Operation
The two-point Flat Field pixel correc-
tion circuits give the user the flexibility
of correcting video data to compensate
for non-uniformities in lighting, lens, or
CCD sensor variations. Adjustable gain
and offset controls allow users to com-
pensate for variations in illumination
found in the “real-world” applications.
The robust design in conjunction
with PerkinElmer’s ultra modern
manufacturing techniques allows the
SmartBlue™ camera to deliver consis-
tent, reliable performance while the
rugged industrial design metal housing
provides the maximum protection in
a variety of harsh environments and
factory floor conditions.
SmartBlue™ cameras transform light
imaged during an exposure period into
a digital video signal. Antiblooming
structures within the CCD sensor
ensure superior performance over a
wide range of lighting conditions. User
defined control is possible for line rate,
exposure time, video gain and offset.
SmartBlue™ cameras have an internal
self diagnostics with real time status
LEDs in addition to a test pattern mode
to allow the user to quickly debug and
isolate potential problems within an
imaging system. In the self diagnostic
test pattern mode, an internal pattern
generator will output data via the
CameraLink™ interface while the status
LEDs will indicate operation of the
camera communication control signals.
The SmartBlue™ linescan cameras
may be interfaced to any CameraLink™
compatible frame grabber card, allow-
ing for a tested, ‘plug and play’ imaging
solution. Typical high performance
linescan applications include lumber
processing, document scanning, dimen-
sional gauging, biomedical imaging,
bar code scanning, and many more
industrial and scientific measurement
applications.
