Phoenix 5.0 MP Polarization Model (IMX264MZR/MYR)

The Phoenix polarization camera with Sony’s IMX264MZR/MYR polarized CMOS sensors offers the same performance as the IMX250MZR/MYR but at a reduced cost. Similar to the IMX250MZR/MYR, the IMX264MZR/MYR sensors use Sony’s polar-sensing technology with four different directional polarization filters (0°, 90°, 45° and 135°) on the chip for every four pixels, perfect for polarization inspection use. The IMX264MZR/MYR global shutter CMOS sensor with integrated on-pixel polarizer provides better object detection in low contrast or reflective light. It can also be used to conveniently visualize scratches on surfaces or the stress distribution within transparent objects.

Extinction Ratio.
Minimum among 4 angles at each wavelength.

Extinction Ratio Explanation: Extinction Ratio (ER) is the ratio between the maximum and minimum signal detected by a particular polarization pixel channel for a linearly polarized input. The ratio is computed by taking the maximum response divided by the minimum response for a particular polarization channel (ie. 0° polarization pixels). For example, the 0° polarization pixels have maximum response when the polarization angle of the input light is 0° and minimum response when the polarization angle is 90°. Extinction Ratio for the 0° pixels is computed by taking the ratio of the two values. The extinction ratio can be interpreted as how many folds the maximum transmittance is when compared with the minimum transmittance. For example, at 430nm, the ER of 425.83 means the maximum signal is 425.83 times greater than the minimum signal at 430nm.

For example, at Blue 430nm, the ER of 589.6 means the maximum signal is 589.6 times greater than the minimum signal at 430nm.
