Allied Vision's compact Alvium camera now available with Sony SenSWIR sensors
Allied Vision releases Alvium 1800 SWIR camera models with IMX990 and IMX991 SenSWIR sensors from Sony
Allied Vision's Alvium 1800 compact modular camera series is now available with Sony's innovative InGaAs SWIR sensors. The new models of the 1800 series with USB3 Vision or CSI-2 interface can be used in a wide spectral range from 400 nm to 1700 nm thanks to the SenSWIR sensor technology. Alvium 1800 U/C-030 features the IMX991 sensor with VGA resolution, whereas the Alvium 1800 U/C-130 with IMX990 offers SXGA resolution.
Sony SenSWIR sensor technology
The broad spectral range enables users to capture images with high quantum efficiency in the visible as well as the SWIR spectrum with a single camera, reducing overall system costs. The innovative architecture of the InGaAs digital sensors allows pixel sizes of only 5µm and high image homogeneity due to their copper-to-copper interconnects. The small pixel size is essential especially for SWIR applications with high resolution and precision requirements, such as semiconductor inspection or quality inspection of optics for laser-based measurement systems.
Alvium SWIR Core modules are available with USB3 Vision or MIPI CSI-2 interface including GenICam-compatible function control. With industrial-grade hardware and optimized drivers, they offer a plug-and-play experience when building vision applications beyond the visible spectrum, regardless of whether they are based on a PC or an embedded system.
High performance under changing operating conditions
All models of the Alvium camera series can be operated at housing temperatures from -20°C to +65°C. This makes them suitable for applications with changing operating conditions, such as outdoor imaging.

XLamp® XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs Set a New Standard in Horticulture Lighting
Designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, unmatched durability and seamless system upgrades, XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs are optimized for high-performance applications in greenhouses, vertical farms and other large-scale growing operations. These LEDs achieve an impressive typical Wall-Plug Efficiency (WPE) of 83.5% at 700 mA and 25°C. This efficiency allows horticulture luminaires to deliver the same output with less power consumption, translating into lower operating costs and optimized designs that use up to 35% fewer Photo Red LEDs. Cree LED's XP-L Photo Red LEDs, built with advanced S Line technology, set a new standard in sulfur and corrosion resistance, offering an extended lifespan and reliable performance. These features significantly reduce maintenance costs while providing consistent, high-quality lighting throughout critical growth cycles. Additionally, a consistent platform offers easy integration with a drop-in replacement for existing XP-based luminaires eliminating the need for reengineering due to footprint changes. With the same 3.45 x 3.45 mm XP footprint as the XP-G3 Photo Red S Line LEDs, the XP-L Photo Red ensures a hassle-free upgrade for existing designs.
