Hamamatsu Photonics introduce at Auto Electronics 2015 the latest image sensors that feature a high-speed charge transfer structure in each pixel to enable high-precision TOF (time-of-flight) distance measurements. The S11961-01CR is a linear image sensor for TOF distance measurement, and the S11962-01CR and S11963-01CR are area image sensors for 3D distance-measuring cameras.

In addition to conventional detection tasks such as detecting the presence of people or obstacles, the new image sensors provide various types of added functionality including distance measurement and shape detection. They have been designed for use in a wide variety of applications, such as automotive systems for detecting people or obstacles, object detection in semiconductor wafer transfer systems, shape detection by industrial robots, and intruder detection by security systems.

Also on show the latest range of Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC); an opto-semiconductor device with excellent photon counting capability and which also possesses great advantages such as low crosstalk, low afterpulses, low voltage operation and insensitivity to magnetic fields. Our comprehensive line-up offers various sizes, package types, associated evaluation boards and modules making it easy to find the ideal match for your application requirements.
