Dhyana 4040 V2 Large-Format FSI sCMOS Camera, 4096 × 4096, 70 ke⁻ Full Well
Dhyana 4040 V2Design Tools
A large-format front-illuminated sCMOS camera with high full well for astronomy and physics imaging.
The Dhyana 4040 V2 uses the front-illuminated GSENSE4040 sensor with 4096 × 4096 pixels of 9 µm, giving a 36.9 mm square imaging area and a 52.1 mm diagonal. A typical full well of 70 ke⁻ and 86 dB dynamic range let it record bright and faint features in the same frame, at 16.5 fps over CameraLink or 9.7 fps over USB 3.0. Dark current is 0.15 e⁻/pixel/s with air cooling and 0.1 e⁻/pixel/s with liquid cooling.
Key Features
- 36.9 mm × 36.9 mm imaging area (52.1 mm diagonal) with 16 MP of 9 µm pixels
- 70 ke⁻ typical full well and 86 dB dynamic range for high-contrast scenes
- 74% peak QE at 600 nm with 3.6 e⁻ typical read noise
- Factory calibration that reduces fixed-pattern noise in bias and low-signal frames; DSNU 0.5 e⁻, PRNU 0.2%
- Dark current 0.15 e⁻/pixel/s (air) or 0.1 e⁻/pixel/s (liquid); liquid cooling to 45 °C below ambient
- 16.5 fps via CameraLink or 9.7 fps via USB 3.0; exposures from 10 µs to 3600 s
- GPS timestamps with 8 ns accuracy; supported in MaxIm DL, LabVIEW and MATLAB
Typical Applications
- Space debris detection
- Solar observation
- Soft X-ray imaging
- Quantum imaging and quantum optics
- FPD inspection
