January 23^rd, 2025,  Changchun, China – Gpixel announces the GLR1402BSI-M image sensor, expanding upon the GLR rectangular pixel linear sensor product line targeting cost-efficient spectroscopy, OCT, encoder and other image reading applications. GLR1402BSI-M has 2048 pixels in 1 row, pixel size 14 μm x 350 μm, yielding an impressive 180 ke^- full well capacity. GLR1402BSI-M boasts a mere 1.4 e^- of noise and a max line rate of 28 kHz.

Fig. 1 GLR1402BSI-M is housed in a 38 x 7.4 mm, 72 pin CLCC ceramic package with quartz cover glass, optimizing UV response.

Data is read out at 14 bits per pixel with 80 dB of dynamic range, or by combining two 12 bit pixel reads, high and low gain, to achieve a maximum dynamic range of 94 dB. GLR1402BSI-M supports both sLVDS and CMOS data outputs, customer can switch different data channels with 12bit / 14bit based on demand.

Fig. 2 GLR1402 achieves a maximum 85% QE at 420 nm with impressive UV response.

Several features ease camera integration including an internal sequencer, channel multiplexing, and on-chip analog temperature sensor.

“The GLR1402BSI-M adds a 2k line length with impressively wide QE from UV to NIR to our growing portfolio of rectangular pixel line scan sensors,” says Wim Wuyts, CCO of Gpixel, “with industry leading line rate, noise and Dynamic Range performance housed in a compact and cost efficient SMD package is the GLR1402BSI-M sure to prove attractive in spectroscopy applications, or for anyone needing a high level of signal to noise.”
