news digest ♦ Telecoms light-level SWIR and VisNIR imaging.
The new detector XFPA-1.7-640-LN2, based on source-follower detector (SFD) read-out technology, offers high sensitivity at a resolution of 640 x 512 pixels with a pixel pitch of 20 μm and reaches extreme long integration times. LN2-cooling at 77K allows for lowest noise (< 20 e-) ever seen for SWIR detectors and low dark current (< 5 e-/sec per pixel).
Optionally, the measurement realm can be extended into the visible spectrum. Easy focusing on the microscope stage is supported by the increased frame rate in windowing mode.
Based on this new XFPA detector, Xenics will introduce a complete camera system, the “Cougar”, in the second half of 2012.
Another highlight at the Xenics booth is Bobcat- 320-Gated, an SWIR camera operating in the 0.85 to 1.6 μm spectral band. It provides extremely short integration times down to 80 nsec. Bobcat-320-Gated makes use of a highly sensitive uncooled InGaAs detector, which is available in a 20μm pixel-pitch. The compact camera contains real-time on-board image processing and image correction – all at a very favourable price point.
A special feature of Bobcat-320-Gated is the programmable trigger-out delay between the internally generated trigger-out pulse and the start of integration. It is configurable from 80 nsec up to 2 msec in steps of 80 nsec. Bobcat- 320-Gated
captures frames at a frame rate tuneable around 28 fps. With all these features, Bobcat- 320-Gated is ideally suited for the inspection of hot and fast moving objects or measurement systems requiring synchronisation of the camera with a pulsed laser.
“Our main message,” says Xenics founder and CEO Bob Grietens, “is that Xenics covers the entire wavelength span from SWIR over MWIR

to LWIR with advanced thermography systems. For medical applications such as OCT, our new high-speed SWIR cameras are the perfect fit. In the scientific markets, our new Bobcat-320- Gated takes the lead by providing very short integration times.”
Microsemi on a roll with ZTE’s ‘2011 Best Delivery Support’ award
The firm has been commended for its exceptional delivery of semiconductor products for applications supporting a wide range of communications products and networks
Microsemi Corporation was named the recipient of ZTE Corporation’s “2011 Best Delivery Support” award at ZTE’s Supplier Day event in Shenzhen, China.
Microsemi received the award in recognition of its ability to consistently meet delivery schedule commitments and for providing superior service and support. ZTE Corporation is a global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, and one of China’s largest listed telecoms equipment companies.
“We strive to provide our customers with consistently high-quality products, on-time deliveries, and best-in-class technical and customer service support,” said Rick Goerner, senior vice president of Worldwide Sales for Microsemi. “We are honoured to receive this important award from ZTE in recognition of achieving these goals.”
“We chose Microsemi as the winner of this award because of the company’s demonstrated ability to reliably adhere to product delivery schedules and adapt to changing requirements,” said Peter Zeng, VP of procurement for ZTE. “These attributes are essential to ensuring our ability to meet our customers’ needs, and a key factor in our long-
