BLAZE - Low-noise, High-speed Cameras

BLAZE Revolutionary High-Speed Camera for Spectroscopy

BLAZE incorporates two revolutionary new spectroscopy sensors making it the ideal spectroscopy camera. HR-Sensors are super deep depletion devices offering the highest NIR quantum efficiency of any spectroscopic CCD. LD-Sensors are deep depletion devices designed for extremely low dark current, allowing long exposures in demanding spectroscopic applications.

Key applications include:
