SWIRmeaning

Advances have been made in short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging technology to address the most demanding imaging and surveillance applications. Multiple techniques have been developed and deployed in Goodrich’s SWIR indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) cameras to increase the dynamic range performance of standard, commercial off-theshelf (COTS) products. New developments have been implemented on multiple levels to give these cameras the unique ability to automatically compensate for changes in light levels of up to five orders of magnitude, while improving intra-scenic dynamic range through raw data acquisition techniques, and a proprietary, patent-pending, image-enhancement algorithm.

The 6H range of borescopes have a narrow cable just 5.8 mm in diameter. The different models vary in cable length, either 18" / 45 cm or 36" / 91 cm. The flexible nylon shaft will fit into holes as small as 6 mm diameter but it is not 'obedient' (it does not retain the last set position).The endoscope has an on/off switch which allows you to leave the light on without keeping your finger on the button. The handle design gives the greatest comfort for extended periods of use and ease of focusing.The lamp is an internal halogen bulb. The superior optical cable gives a high quality sharp image (7400 pixels) even at close ranges as low as a few centimeters. The cable is abrasive and water resistant with a bending radius of down to only 7 cm.Spare halogen lamp, angled mirror, and magnet accessories are included.

The gate-modulated (GMOD) pixel architecture ROIC can change the sensitivity of the focal plane array by modifying internal biases, resulting in a change in effective capacitance. The flexibility of an infinitely variable capacitance results in an infinitely variable full well capacity for the GMOD ROIC. This allows the camera to adjust its sensitivity and full well capacity to compensate for large changes in scene intensity without the integration capacitor limitations of a CTIA ROIC.

The pixel architecture used to acquire data over this large range of scene intensities is unique to Goodrich SWIR cameras. The focal plane array (FPA), or lightsensing chip, is composed of an InGaAs chip bumpbonded to a silicon read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) that has the ability to continuously change the in-pixel analog gain without the limitations of the fixed integration capacitors found in capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) ROICs used by other camera manufacturers. Commonly, CTIA pixel architecture is limited to two capacitors, and therefore only two different gain settings due to pixel size constraints.

British Wildlife is the leading natural history magazine in the UK, providing essential reading for both enthusiast and professional naturalists and wildlife conservationists. Published eight times a year, British Wildlife bridges the gap between popular writing and scientific literature through a combination of long-form articles, regular columns and reports, book reviews and letters.

Conservation Land Management (CLM) is a quarterly magazine that is widely regarded as essential reading for all who are involved in land management for nature conservation, across the British Isles. CLM includes long-form articles, events listings, publication reviews, new product information and updates, reports of conferences and letters.
