The KAI−29052 Image Sensor is a 29 Megapixel CCD in a 35 mm optical format 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. However, QE at 820 nm has been approximately doubled compared to existing devices, enabling enhanced sensitivity without a corresponding decrease in the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the device.

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

The KAI−29052 is drop-in compatible with the KAI−29050 Image Sensor, simplifying adoption by camera manufacturers currently working with the KAI−29050.
