SiOnyx Aurora - Black Silicon Cmos Night Vision Camera
Moon Phase: Waning Gibbous with 63% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated
Aurora Video Settings:
Night Glow - Night Color
Frame Rate - 30fps
Resolution - 720p
HDR - off
Exposure Comp - 0.0
*** Optics.org: SiOnyx sensor successfully captured images when the system was operated by the US Army, in a test scene at the Army’s premier agency for night vision technology, a company official said.
"This validated the system’s ability to image at 60 frames per second at 1 millilux," replicating moonless night, said Martin Pralle, VP of government programs at SiOnyx.
"That’s the point at which this becomes useful in a lot of military scenarios," he added. "We did it in their labs, on their equipment. They controlled the amount of light. We now have independently validated the camera in the Army’s premier test site." The SiOnyx sensor is said to offer a ten-fold increase in sensitivity at 1064 nm, the wavelength of choice for many laser targeting applications.
In addition to the military products, SiOnyx plans to announce a number of consumer applications requiring the enhanced IR of black silicon, which could see the technology used in computational imaging or biometrics. The SiOnyx imagers are fabricated by tsmc.com/english/default.htm. ***
