2-2 InGaAs Sensor’s Characteristic

InGaAs sensor has unique characteristics and limitations

accordingly, and while using SWIR camera you may see

the phenomenon as described below due to the sensor’s

characteristic and operating principles.

NOTE This chapter is describing about InGaAs sensor and

some of contents are not relevant to camera’s specification.

Blooming

When shooting a bright light source, the source of the

light may appear as a bright halo around the highlight.

Horizontal Smear

When shooting a bright light source, it may appear the

horizontal stripe.

Blooming & Horizontal Smear

Aliasing

It comes especially with continuous(geometrc) model

such as stripes, line, etc., and makes moire patterns

or jaggies in the image.

Defect Pixel

It is the pixel that does not have linearity in regard to

light intensity to video level. Generally, InGaAs sensor

has more defect pixels compared to Si Sensor.

Black Spot

This is the pixel that output luminance is lower than

surrounding pixels, and it is caused by that the

electron is leaked to the pixels top or down, left or

right.

White Spot

This is the pixel that output luminance is higher than

surrounding pixels, and it may appear with long

exposure.

Other Pixel Defect

・Several defect spots adjacent each other

(Cluster defect)

・Linearity of output luminance is considerably low

・Defect pixels appear on specific frame only

White Spot & Black Spot

Video Level & Light Intensity

White Pixel

Occasionally white pixel may appear caused by cosmic ray.

This comes with the principle of InGaAs sensor’s operation.

Horizontal Channel Difference

The sensor is able to output by 2 or 4 channels at once.

In case of this operation, it may cause luminance level

difference horizontally due to each channel’s performance.

This case is resolved by shading correction function.

Etc.,

In case of using the camera under one of below

environment, it may occur degradation of image quality.

・ Operation in high temperature

・ Gain offset

・ Long Exposure

NOTE

When the bright light source is exposed to the sensor, it

makes the image darker. Bright light direct exposure may

cause sensor damage. So, avoid the sensor to be exposed

such light or adjust the light intensity by lens.
