RoHS REACH

A large-format back-illuminated sCMOS camera for astronomy, space surveillance and physics imaging.

The Dhyana 4040BSI pairs a 52 mm-diagonal GSENSE4040BSI sensor (4096 × 4096, 9 µm pixels) with 90% peak QE and 2.3 e⁻ typical read noise. It reads out at 16.5 fps over CameraLink or 9.7 fps over USB 3.0, bringing sCMOS frame rates and dynamic range to large-format imaging that previously relied on CCD cameras. Exposures from 10 µs to 3600 s and liquid cooling to 45 °C below ambient cover both fast and long-integration observations.

Key Features

  • 36.9 mm × 36.9 mm imaging area (52.1 mm diagonal) with 16 MP of 9 µm pixels
  • 90% peak QE at 550 nm with 2.3 e⁻ typical read noise
  • Factory calibration that reduces fixed-pattern noise in bias and low-signal frames; DSNU 0.5 e⁻, PRNU 0.2%
  • 16.5 fps via CameraLink or 9.7 fps via USB 3.0, with 12-bit and 16-bit output
  • Air or liquid cooling, down to 45 °C below ambient with liquid
  • GPS timestamps with 8 ns accuracy (1 µs internal timestamp) for synchronized observations
  • Supported in MaxIm DL, LabVIEW and MATLAB, with SDKs for C, C++, C# and Python

Typical Applications

  • Space debris detection
  • Solar astronomy
  • Soft X-ray imaging
  • Quantum optics
  • FPD inspection
