The KAI-08052 image sensor is an 8-megapixel, 4/3" optical format CCD that provides increased Quantum Efficiency (particularly for NIR wavelengths) compared to members of the standard 5.5 µm family.

The sensor shares the same broad dynamic range, excellent imaging performance, and flexible readout architecture as other members of the 5.5 µm pixel family.But QE at 820 nm has been approximately doubled compared to existing devices, enabling enhanced sensitivity without a corresponding decrease in Modulation Transfer Function (MTF).

The KAI-08052 is available with the Sparse Color Filter Pattern, which provides a 2x improvement in light sensitivity compared to a standard color Bayer part.

The KAI-08052 is drop-in compatible with the KAI-08051 image sensor, simplifying adoption by camera manufacturers currently working with the KAI-08051.

• Increased QE, with 2x improvement at 820 nm
• Bayer Color, Sparse Color, and Monochrome configurations
• Progressive Scan Readout
• High Sensitivity, Low Noise architecture
• Excellent Smear Performance
