Home Products Shortwave Infrared Swir XSL SQ Series
XSL Series Detector

The XSL square (SQ) series, based on an in-house developed linear detector, offer affordable SWIR linescan images.

This SWIR linear detector features an in-house developed InGaAs sensor with 512, 1024 and 2048 resolution options .

The XSL SQ camera modules are able to image line rates up to 40 kHz and comes with an industry-standard CameraLink, GigE Vision or QTE Samtec interface.
