Photonfocus Presents First Global Shutter UV Camera
Photonfocus unveils MV4-D1280U-H01-GT camera said to be the world's first global shutter UV camera. The 1.3MP BSI sensor is custom designed and has a QE with > 40% in 170 - 800 nm band.
Maybe it is the first global shutter CMOS image sensor with UV sensitivity, but certainly not the first global shutter UV camera, since there were the CCD image sensors from Texas Instruments the SPD285 and the interline Transfer CCD from Sony the ICX405AL, which exist for years. Further there are also the GSENSE2020BSO sCMOS image sensors with an incredible UV sensitivity, but they are rolling shutter image sensors. It'S nice that now global shutter UV sensitive CMOS sensors are available.
