Image Sensor Solutions
Multispectral
CCD Technology
Teledyne DALSA was founded by image sensor pioneer Dr. Savvas Chamberlain. For almost 30 years we have been a world leader in CCD image sensor design, amassing dozens of patents and introducing countless innovations and performance enhancements in both the design and fabrication of CCDs. With our own wafer foundry, we can control the entire process from design to delivery, offering both the ultimate in performance tuning but also security of supply. Our standard product list is extensive, but with our custom capabilities, almost anything is possible, from small devices capable of 100 million frames per second to wafer scale devices over 100 megapixels. And beyond the imagers themselves, we can also offer specialized peripheral chipsets to
optimize camera performance with the lowest costs and highest flexibility.
Area Scan
For the highest image quality possible, Teledyne DALSA's large pixel area devices deliver more than 12 true bits of dynamic range at room temperature. Our vertical antiblooming structures help keep fill factor and angular response high, even as they prevent overilluminated highlights from washing out neighboring pixels. Our area CCDs are available in a variety of configurations, including ultra-high resolutions or ultra-high high frame rates. These imagers excel in the highest performance applications from professional medium format photography to industrial inspection, and from fluoroscopy to aerial photogrammetry.
Standard and custom options include:
- Standard resolutions up to 33 megapixels; custom capabilities to 100+ megapixels
- Wafer scale devices
- High throughput including multiple taps for high frame rates
- Custom devices to 100 million fps
- High charge capacity
- Exceptionally low noise
- Unmatched linear dynamic range
- Superior color filters with stable performance over time
- Vertical antiblooming up to 1000x overexposure
- Superior angular response
Line Scan
Teledyne DALSA's line scan CCDs are the main reason for the dominance of our line scan cameras in machine vision markets. Our imagers' combinations of speed, responsivity, and dynamic range has made us industry leaders for close to 20 years. High performance features such as pinned photodiodes, multiple output taps, trilinear color, and resolutions up to 17000 pixels help our custom design clients succeed in the most demanding applications. Innovations such as dual line scan demonstate our ongoing leadership.
Standard and custom options include:
- Resolutions from 512 to 17000 pixels
- Multi tapped outputs for line rates up to 87 kHz
- Pinned photodiodes
- Dual line scan for low light
- Trilinear and quadralinear monolothic color
- Deep UV sensitivity
- Backside thinning
- Radiation hardness
TDI
Teledyne DALSA was a pioneer in TDI (time delay and integration) line scan technology and continues to be the acknowledged world leaer. The multiple exposures of TDI imaging can deliver orders of magnitude more sensitivity in low light than single line imagers. TDI is crucial to the highest performance inspection applications such as semiconductor wafer inspection, where systems must reduce inspection time while still catching 100% of defects on micron scales. Because they require so much less light, TDI imagers are useful wherever objects move at high speeds, such as in postal and parcel inspection systems, or where high intensity illumination would cause damage to the products (e.g. food inspection).
Standard and custom options include:
- Resolutions to 8k, 12k and beyond
- Massively parallel outputs for multi-gigapixel throughput
- Deep UV sensitivity
- Backside thinning
- Radiation hardness
