Description

The DigIR offers significantly higher infrared sensitivity than conventional cameras, achieved through optimized photodiode surface area and depth, along with proprietary microlenses on each diode for enhanced light capture and focus. This design delivers a higher saturation signal, reduced smear and noise, and improved quantum efficiency in low-light conditions. Its automatic contrast control system boosts contrast up to 20 times, ensuring optimal observation across a wide range of illumination settings.

The near infrared DigIR camera has a built in 4 inch display. Camera is designed for observation, registration and recording radiation in near infrared zone emitted by infrared sources such as GaAs IR LED, diode or solid-state lasers as well as for use in infrared microscopy, infrared luminescence, examination of documents, forensics, art restoration and etc.

Typical Applications

  • Location and alignment of Nd:YAG Yb:YAG, Yb:KGW,Ti:Sapphire and other IR lasers
  • Identification of stray IR reflections
  • Observation of GaAs laser diodes, IR LED‘s, dye and other IR-sources
  • Forensic analysis on inks, pigments

Solar Panel Inspection

When reverse voltage is applied to a solar panel, the silicon p-n junction acts as a light-emitting diode (LED), producing near-infrared light emission through electroluminescence (EL). This occurs via radiative recombination—the process where electrons and holes recombine at the semiconductor junction, emitting photons in the near-infrared spectrum (typically 900–1300 nm wavelength range). Unlike thermal imaging, which detects heat radiation, EL imaging directly detects the light emission from the energized junction, offering a critical advantage: the glass panel surface does not blur or scatter the signal, as it would with thermal radiation.

Real-World Example (21V Panel)

For a solar panel rated at 21V open-circuit voltage, apply a reverse voltage between 24V to 28V using a regulated power supply. This voltage range drives sufficient current through the junction to produce detectable electroluminescence. Defects, cracks, and microfractures within the cells exhibit higher resistance, causing localized variations in carrier recombination rates and thus appearing as bright spots or dark regions in the EL image captured by your IR camera.

Safety Guidelines

Maximum safe reverse voltage typically ranges from 1.2 to 1.5 times the panel’s rated voltage. Exceeding this threshold risks irreversible damage, delamination, or internal short circuits. Always consult the manufacturer’s datasheet for specifications. Use a current-limiting power supply, and limit voltage application to 2–5 minutes per cycle to avoid thermal stress and degradation. This example is educational only.
