High sensitivity and low noise for low-light & NIR applications
The IMX676 sensor of the Sony STARVIS 2 series is characterized by its high sensitivity – even in the near-infrared (NIR) range – and a high signal-to-noise ratio. This combined with the cheaper rolling shutter sensor technology allows cameras with the IMX676 to offer many benefits for low-light, NIR, and price-sensitive applications.
Quantum efficiency in comparison
The graph shows the quantum efficiency (QE) of three sensors.
IMX676: Rolling shutter sensor, 12.5 MP resolution, pixel size of 2 μm2, latest Sony STARVIS 2 series
IMX226: Rolling shutter sensor, 12.2 MP resolution, pixel size of 1.85 μm2, Sony STARVIS series, available for over 10 years
CMV4000NIR: NIR-optimized global shutter sensor, 4 MP resolution, pixel size of 5.5 μm2, available for over 10 years
Both the QE curves and the table below of selected QE data prove the high sensitivity of the IMX676 sensor in both the visible and NIR range compared to the established sensors.
IMX676 | IMX226 | CMV4000NIR | |
---|---|---|---|
Technology | Sony STARVIS 2 | Sony STARVIS | NIR-optimized |
QE @ 540 nm | 92 % | 80 % | 62 % |
QE @ 850 nm | ~ 45 % | ~ 19 % | ~ 35 % |
QE @ 950 nm | ~ 20 % | ~ 9 % | ~ 11 % |

High image quality at 850 nm
This image comparison demonstrates the high image quality of the IMX676 sensor in the NIR range. Two images with negative film in the left part of the image (outlined in blue) are shown. Because the negative film is transparent in the NIR range, the scale behind it is clearly visible at 850 nm. The lines of the scale are easily recognizable due to the high NIR sensitivity and the low noise behaviour of the IMX676.
Sony STARVIS 2 sensor technology
The excellent image quality delivered by the IMX676 sensor is due to the ever-evolving sensor technology. The pixel architecture of the Sony STARVIS 2 sensors has been optimized compared with the previous series and convinces with very high sensitivity—even in low light conditions. Further developments continue to improve light absorption in the NIR range, lead to a high signal-to-noise ratio, and extend the dynamic range.
