Hamamatsu Photonics has applied its unique circuit design technology to an area image sensor that is sensitive to near-infrared light and is made of indium (In), gallium (Ga), and arsenic (As). They have developed a sensor that has approximately twice the readout speed and dynamic range compared to the previous product. By increasing the dynamic range compared to conventional products and making it possible to select the wavelength for signal readout, it is possible to handle objects with different components and sizes, such as plastic recycling and quality control of food and medicine, including alternative plants. It can be widely applied. Sales will begin on Wednesday, November 1st to domestic and overseas industrial camera manufacturers. The company will promote sales of the product as a necessary tool for decarbonization and countering food shortages associated with population growth.
