Product Introduction

Electron Bombardment Active Pixel Sensor (EBAPS) is a new type of low-light imaging device that combines vacuum optoelectronic devices with solid-state digital devices. When weak light hits the photocathode, the generated photoelectrons are accelerated by high voltage and bombard the CMOS chip to generate electrical signals. The signals are read out by the rear-end circuit for image processing and display.http://www.mh-elec.com/photo-x.php?id=618

EBAPS innovatively integrates digital technology with low-light night vision technology. It features high detection efficiency of vacuum devices and digital output of solid-state devices, pointing a new direction for the development of modern digital low-light night vision devices. This product offers many advantages such as high detection efficiency, high gain, fast response speed and controllable spectral range.

EBAPS features 1.3 million pixels with a pixel size of 9.76 μm. Its minimum operating illuminance reaches 5×10⁻⁵ lx, and the maximum frame rate is up to 60 fps. It supports day & night dual modes: high voltage is turned off for optical imaging in daytime; high voltage is enabled for electron bombardment imaging at night. Typical application scenarios are listed in Table Table 1 .

Connection Application Examples

1.Hardware Connection Method

(1) Connect the Camera Link cable to the Camera Link interface.

(2) Connect the RS485 serial cable and DC12V power supply wire to the corresponding positions of the matched communication & power cable.

Alternatively, a Micro USB interface can be used for 5V power supply. The two power supply paths shall not be energized simultaneously.

Precautions

Do not irradiate the device directly with intense light sources during normal operation in low-light environments.

Do not sharply increase voltage or adjust illuminance under the manual high-voltage operating mode.

Prevent immersion in water, exposure to rain and direct sunlight.

Do not place the device in areas with strong electric or magnetic fields.

If abnormal operation occurs during testing, cut off the power supply before troubleshooting.

Wear anti-static gloves during operation.
