Intensified Cameras

For scalar laser imaging in gas flows in most cases intensified cameras are used. Image intensifiers amplify weak light signals up to single photon sensitivity, can detect UV-light and offer fast gating for short exposure times down to 3 ns. Different types of intensifiers and intensified cameras are offered:

  • Lens-coupled intensifiers (IROs)
  • Lens-coupled intensified cameras
  • Fiber-coupled intensified cameras

LaVision’s IRO X lens-coupled image intensifiers allow easy upgrade of all kind of cameras for intensified imaging performance when needed. LaVision’s DaVis software controls the intensifier settings for gate, gain and delay via our universal IRO X controller.

For high-speed imaging with maximum sensitivity the High-Speed IRO X intensifier (HS-IRO X) is attached in front of a CMOS high-speed camera. Lens coupling between intensifier and camera allows this modular upgrade with highest sensitivity and maximum image quality. The HS-IRO X feature multi-stage amplification to override gain depletion in its micro-channel plate at higher frame rates.

System Features of
IRO X Image Intensifiers
  • Lens-coupling between camera and IRO X for optimized image quality
  • Intensifier can be easily removed from camera when not needed
  • 5 ns minimum exposure time
  • Maximum light detection sensitivity
  • IRO X operation (gate, gain, delay) under DaVis software control
