瑞士Photonfocus AG
瑞士Photonfocus公司是一家高速成长的高科技公司，主要专注于CMOS芯片、CMOS相机的研制。其生产的CMOS芯片在全球享有很高的声誉，有多家著名公司都利用其CMOS芯片作OEM相机。其研制的CMOS相机具有大像素、高灵敏度等特点，内置的Linlog专利技术可大范围提高相机的动态范围，在采用Linlog技术的情况下，动态范围可扩展到120dB，非常适合激光焊接质量检测等方面的应用。
日前，瑞士Photonfocus公司推出Photonfocus高速高分辨率相机，包括MV-D1024 Series系列、高速相机MV-D1024-TrackCam高速相机、Hurricane-40高速相机等系列。主要特点包括：高端兆像素总体快门（global shutter） CMOS相机，模拟 1英寸-CMOS 传感器,黑白,1024x1024的像元， 10.6μm x 10.6μm 像素，400 - 1000nm光谱范围，采用总体快门（global shutter），无运动畸变，3种帧频可选 (27fps, 75fps, 150fps)，全分辨率情况下(1024*1024)最快帧频可达 150 帧/秒，无smear，无blooming，最多可开17个可选择的窗口等 。

Photonfocus AG, is a dynamic, solidly founded start-up company. Photonfocus combines solely leading expertise in designing CMOS sensors with sound vision camera engineering. Photonfocus sells standard cameras and OEM vision modules for the industrial market. Besides standard products Photonfocus offers solutions adapted at customer's needs.

Business Model
The manufacturing is organized according to the "Fabless Business Model". Photonfocus works with qualified foundries to guarantee high quality standards. Due to the fact that Photonfocus has their own sensor technology, camera and sensors are adjusted optimal. Because of that the products development cycles shorten and products correspond to the customers requirements. Therefore Photonfocus has a little dependence on external suppliers of sensors.

History
Photonfocus AG was founded in April 2001, as a spin-off company from CSEM, the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology. Photonsfocus’ know-how in CMOS image-sensors and cameras for industrial image processing goes back to the CSEM. Photonfocus is a fast growing company. It works successfully on development and marketing of high-speed image sensors and high quality digital cameras. Those products are protected, e.g. under the registered trademark LinLog.
