Teledyne e2v Launches Caiman Module with Sub-1W Consumption and 120fps Low-Light Imaging
Teledyne e2v unveiled the Caiman™ imaging module featuring OnyxMax™ sensor with high quantum efficiency and low noise performance under 1 mlx light levels, delivering over 120 fps and sub-1 W power consumption via MIPI interface. The compact module targets night vision, surveillance, laser detection and scientific imaging.
1. Product Launch and Features
Teledyne e2v has introduced the Caiman™ imaging module as a small, lightweight solution optimized for demanding low-light environments. The launch marks an expansion of Teledyne’s imaging portfolio into sub-millilux sensitivity applications.
2. Technical Specifications
Built around the OnyxMax™ sensor, Caiman offers high quantum efficiency and spatial resolution in the near-infrared band, maintains low noise at light levels below 1 mlx, achieves over 120 fps and operates below 1 W. The integrated image processing features include automatic exposure, noise filtering, histogram equalization and binning.
3. Target Applications
Caiman is designed for night vision systems, perimeter surveillance, laser detection and advanced scientific imaging use cases requiring consistent performance in both daytime and nighttime conditions. Its CMOS architecture provides reliability across varied lighting scenarios.
4. Integration and Availability
Featuring a MIPI interface for easy integration with standard SoCs, Caiman can be evaluated with available documentation, samples and software upon request. The module will be showcased at the SPIE Defense + Security event from April 26–30, 2026, at booth 703.
