January 28, 2025, Changchun, China – Gpixel announces the GSENSE1517BSI backside illuminated CMOS image sensor for scientific imaging.
We continue our commitment to being the premier provider of scientific CMOS image sensors by expanding our portfolio to address the varied needs of researchers.” - Wim Wuyts, CCOCHANGCHUN, JILIN, CHINA, January 28, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- GSENSE1517BSI is a 4116 x 4100 (16.8 MP) resolution scientific image sensor with high-performance 15 x 15 μm2 pixels, a large 61.74 x 61.50 mm imaging area, peak QE of 92%, and minimum read noise 1.2 e-. GSENSE1517BSI fills a gap in available high-performance scientific image sensors by offering a new, larger pixel size in the popular 60 mm square format. Applications for this image sensor include astronomy imaging tasks like space situational awareness (SSA), orbital object tracking, other space-related imaging, and physical sciences research.
The sensor utilizes dual-gain HDR and both 12-bit and 14-bit ADCs to achieve a variety of imaging modes. Both 12-bit HDR and 14-bit STD are supported at up to 4 fps utilizing 10 pairs of LVDS working at 420 Mbps each. In 12-bit dual-gain HDR mode, an intra-scene dynamic range over 95.3 dB is achieved with 70 ke- full well capacity and 1.2 e- readout noise. In 14-bit STD mode, either the LG or HG signal can be utilized. Using the HG signal, read noise is 1.5 e- and a dynamic range of 79.6 dB is achieved. Using the LG signal, the maximum full well capacity of 70 ke- provides an SNR up to 48.5 dB
The GSENSE1517BSI, developed in collaboration with industry-leading customers, offers optimized performance for astronomy applications. It features exceptionally low dark current of 0.0069 e-/p/s at -60 degrees. Additionally, its dedicated readout architecture significantly reduces glowing, making it ideal for long exposure applications.
“We continue our commitment to being the premier provider of scientific CMOS image sensors by expanding our portfolio to address the varied needs of researchers,” says Wim Wuyts, Gpixel's Chief Commercial Officer.“The GSENSE1517BSI is a perfect complement to Gpixel's existing large format scientific image sensor portfolio and offers the high performance of a 15-μm pixel in the 60 mm square format popularized by GSENSE6060BSI.”
GSENSE1517BSI is assembled in a high-end SiC package designed such that the
dead space on three sides is minimized for mosaic tiling. The thermal expansion of SiC is close to that of the silicon die, providing mechanical stability over the sensor's full operating range. The sensor's 144-pin Al2O3 IPGA ceramic package is offered with removable cover glass for easy assembly into cooled camera systems.
GSENSE1517BSI is the latest addition to Gpixel's large-format image sensors dedicated to astronomy and scientific imaging, which includes both frontside and backside illuminated sensors in resolutions ranging from 16.8 MP to 81.7 MP, with pixel sizes from 9 μm to 15 μm, and imaging area up to 92 x 98 mm. Gpixel also offers customized image sensors to address scientific applications including astronomy, spectroscopy, microscopy, biosciences instrumentation, and physical science research.
Samples of GSENSE1517BSI are available today. For more information, please contact Gpixel at ... or visit .
The Gpixel team will also be available at the Photonics West exhibition January 27-30 at San Francisco's Moscone Center, Hall A, Booth 143.
