FAST SWIR S1K Radiometric
The FAST SWIR S1K is the fastest radiometric camera in the short-wave infrared band, designed for kilohertz imaging and precise radiometric measurement of hot targets in IR signature and ranging applications. Its ultra-low-noise InGaAs detector delivers exceptional sensitivity for low-light measurements, while high-performance electronics achieve full-frame rates of up to 1,000 fps and subwindow rates exceeding 109,000 fps. Blackbody-free permanent calibration, automatic exposure control (AEC), and enhanced high-dynamic-range imaging (EHDRI) are standard, with optional temperature calibration up to 1,000 °C for high-temperature target measurement. The IP-67 sealed enclosure and TEC-cooled detector make the S1K equally suited to demanding lab and field environments.
