    Featuring 35% quantum efficiency at 940 nm, the Spark4K near-infrared image sensor from InVisage Technologies is suitable for use in such applications as autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, and other high dynamic range NIR imaging applications. The sensor features CMOS technology on the circuit level, but the photosensitive layer and pixel design is different from traditional CMOS products. InVisage refers to the sensors as “QuantumFilm sensors.” The Spark4K is a 1.1 µm pixel, 13 MPixel NIR sensor in a 1/3” module that can capture 4K video at 30 fps, and the photosensitivity of NIR-optimized QuantumFilm is five times higher than conventional silicon at the invisible 940 nm wavelength, allowing the Spark4K pixel to deliver 35% quantum efficiency.
