Kepler Front Illuminated CMOS Cameras

The Kepler CMOS cameras are ideal for Space Domain Awareness, providing a wide field of view, high frame rates, and exceptional quantum efficiency for accurate and reliable imaging in dynamic space environments—enabling continuous 24-hour use, including both day and night imaging.

KL400FI

The Kepler KL400FI provides high sensitivity, ultra-low noise with high frame rates, all at a game-changing price to performance ratio. An ideal camera for those applications requiring a sensor without microlenses.

Quantum Efficiency

Quantum efficiency (QE) measures how effectively a detector converts incoming photons into electrons. In our graphs, QE is expressed as a percentage. A sensor’s QE typically varies based on its architecture, coatings, and materials. High QE remains a crucial consideration for applications such as astronomy, space debris imaging, and life science research.

KL4040FI

The KL4040 shares the same large area as the KAF-16803 CCD, but with a giant improvement in throughput, substantially lower noise, and higher quantum efficiency. The KL4040 has become an industry favorite for time-resolved applications such as space domain awareness.
