Stanford Computer Optics, Inc, founded in 1989, is a developer and manufacturer of intensified CCD (ICCD) camera systems for scientific and R&D applications. Stanford Computer Optics was founded by the current president Paul Höß and has become, with the experience of more than 20 years, one of the main manufacturers of short gated intensified ICCD cameras.

The specific focus of Stanford Computer Optics is in ultra fast gating ICCD cameras. The 4 Picos ICCD camera system has a gating time of down to 200 picoseconds.[1]

There is a wide range of applications for ICCD cameras such as low light imaging, ultra fast imaging and time-resolved spectroscopy.

In 2003, Stanford Computer Optics introduced the multi-framing camera, XXRapidFrame, which is one of the fastest multi-framing ICCD camera system available today. A framing camera consists of multiple individual ICCD cameras which can be triggered individually either simultaneously or with an inter-framing delay. This allows image sequences of up to 8 images, at a rate of several billion frames per second. In 2013, Stanford Computer Optics introduced the 6- and 8-channel intensified CCD framing camera, XXRapidFrame.[2][3]
