The Future is Insight with Fairchild Imaging
Standard and custom image sensors designed for high performance imaging applications.
Our sensors are designed with a combination of key features that meet the needs of extreme imaging performance.Where Every Photon Counts
With a longstanding history and reputation for excellence, we offer a wide range of high-speed imaging sensors that feature groundbreaking low-noise performance in low-light conditions.
Our sensors enable imaging throughout the full spectrum. From x-ray and ultraviolet, through visible to near infrared wavelengths, our high quantum efficiency imaging performance enable high quality imaging in harsh and challenging conditions. Our CMOS portfolio is excellent for a variety of applications, each requiring uncompromised image quality to empower highly differentiated leading edge cameras.
Our Technology & Expertise
Fairchild Imaging sensors target the most demanding imaging applications. Our R&D efforts are focused on developing cutting edge technologies that are continually advancing the state of the art in high-performance cameras.Low Light
No one makes sensors with lower read noise. You can achieve photon counting with our 0.25e- read noise performance. Through a combination of advanced backside illuminated pixel engineering and innovative analog circuit design techniques, we are now in the realm of detecting single photons.
High Dynamic Range
A patented dual-gain architecture leverages the ultra-low read noise to capture low light levels (high-gain), while simultaneously capturing highlights (low-gain) in a large, full-well capacity pixel. The result is a market-leading sensor native dynamic range. This native high dynamic range (HDR) starting point can be extended further with our patented Ultra Dynamic Range (UDR) technique. UDR can extend dynamic range up to 120 dB with a single exposure while mitigating artifacts due to motion and LED flicker.
High Frame Rate
Our sensors are architected to achieve lightning speeds concurrently with high-resolution output. Amazingly, the high speed and high resolution are accomplished without compromising the sensors low read noise and high dynamic range.
Multispectral
We offer sensors capable of detection across a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our market-pioneering sCMOS sensors detect visible light with high quantum efficiency (QE), and recently achieved significant increases in near-infrared QE. We also have years of deep experience in developing and delivering X-ray sensors.
