High-speed Gated Intensified Camera

The HiCAM is an integrated camera system that was designed for high-speed imaging in low-light conditions. It features a 1.3 megapixel image sensor that captures detailed images at high frame rates of up to 500 fps at full resolution. Reducing the resolution allows for even higher framerates.

A high-quality image intensifier boosts light levels, which offers a unique combination of exposed high-speed recordings in low-light conditions. The dual-stage image intensifier can be equiped with a variaty of photocathodes; ranging from ultraviolet to infrared. And because the image intensifier is fiber-optically coupled, the signal-to-noise ratio of the camera is far superior to a lens-coupled system.

With gating, the image intensifier is used as an ultra high speed shutter, reducing the effective exposure time. This enables time-resolved filtering and also eliminates motion blur. The fanless design of the camera minimizes vibrations to ensure sharp images.

Data can either be temporarily stored in the built-in memory of the HiCAM 500 or streamed directly to a frame grabber by the HiCAM 500S. Camera control and data download is done over a gigabit ethernet connection using the bundled software. Intensifier gain and gating are also configurable from the software.

Intensifier Sensitivity		Phosphor Response Time



S20 and S25 intensifier quality The number of dark spots, exceeding a contrast with their surrounding area of 20%, is less than or equal to the number indicated below. The size of non-circular spots is determined on the basis of equal area to circular spots. When the distance between two spots is less than the maximum dimension of either spot, the two spots are considered to be one spot. There shall be no bright spots in the active area.		GaAs and GaAsP intensifier quality The dark and white spots which exceed a contrast of 30 percent of their surrounding area should not exceed the following values over the guarantee area. Spot size is defined as the diameter of the circle, with an area equal to the area of the spot. N/A denotes 'Not applicable' in the table below.

Photons are converted into electrons at the photocathode. These are accelerated towards the micro-channel plate by an electric field and hit the channel walls. Depending on the voltage across the channel, multiple electrons are generated by secondary emission.

This cloud of electrons is accelerated towards the anode screen, where the electrons are converted back into photons by the phosphor layer. The second stage of the intensifier (the booster) further increases the light intensity. Finally, the photons are transferred to the sensor by a fiberoptical taper.

Photocathodes

The photocathode is the entrance of the image intensifier. This is where the incoming photons are converted to electrons. The quantum efficiency of the photocathode material specifies how efficient this conversion is for each wavelength.

Second generation image intensifiers The photocathode of a second generation image intensifier can have a quantum efficiency of up to 25%. S25 photocathodes are only available in the 18 mm diameter image intensifiers.	Typical QE Typical quantum efficiency (%) of second generation image intensifiers as a function of wavelength (nm).



Second generation high QE image intensifiers The photocathode of a second generation high QE image intensifier can have a quantum efficiency of over 30%. Please note that these image intensifiers are only available with a diameter of 18 mm.	Typical QE, 200 ns gate width Typical quantum efficiency (%) of second generation high QE image intensifiers as a function of wavelength (nm).



Second generation fast-gated high QE image intensifiers The photocathode of a second generation high QE image intensifier can have a quantum efficiency of over 25%. Please note that these image intensifiers are only available with a diameter of 18 mm.	Typical QE, 3 ns gate width Typical quantum efficiency (%) of second generation high QE image intensifiers as a function of wavelength (nm).



Third generation image intensifiers The photocathode of a third generation image intensifier can have a quantum efficiency of up to 50%.	Typical QE Typical quantum efficiency (%) of third generation image intensifiers as a function of wavelength (nm).

Phosphors

Phosphor Decay Time

The anode screen of the image intensifier contains a layer of phosphorescent material. Upon impact of an electron, the phosphor screen will emit light. Depending on the type of phosphor, the intensity of the emitted light will decrease faster. The more efficient the phosphor, the slower its light intensity decays after excitation.

Our time-resolved cameras and camera attachments use P43 phosphor. The high luminous efficiency of this phosphor increases the light levels at the output of the image intensifier. This increases the quality of the resulting image.

Our high-speed cameras and camera attachments use P46 phosphor. This phosphor has a short decay time, so the light signal of consecutive frames doesn't get mixed up.

P47 phosphor is available on request, when even faster decay times are required.

P46	530 nm	6	500 ns	2000 ns
