Phoenix™

Shortwave Infrared (SWIR), 5 µm Pixel Pitch Camera Cores

The Attollo Phoenix™ camera line features the industry’s smallest SWIR sensors in HD and VGA formats with a 5 µm pixel pitch.  Each of the cameras are built for low‑SWaP applications and offers a significant opportunity for cost-savings at the system level by way of more pixels on target with a shorter focal length optic. The Phoenix™ utilizes Attollo Engineering’s high-performance InGaAs detector material for low noise and quantum efficiency. The Phoenix™ sensor is designed specifically to support passive imaging along with day /night laser see-spot and range-gated imaging applications. These miniature cameras are ideal for small gimbal integration as well as use in handheld and soldier-mounted systems.

The Phoenix™ interface can be customized with USB-C, MIPI or Camera Link.
