High Resolution IR Detectors for Mid Wave Infrared Imaging 640x512 HgCdTe MWIR (20µm pitch)
• Up to 100 Hz Full Frame
Rate Operation
• Low Power
• High Sensitivity
• Lightweight
• 20 micron Pixel
Technology
The Sofradir staring snapshot 640x512 Mid Wave Infrared (MWIR) focal plane assemblies are offered to answer the high
resolution (TV format) applications (FLIR, IRST, reconnaissance, surveillance, airborne camera, thermography, non-destructive
test, etc.) in the band II (3-5 µm). These detectors take advantage of the Sofradir optimized high performance, stable, low
defect density photo voltaic HgCdTe technology for staring arrays.
Hybridized on a state-of-the-art CMOS Read-Out Integrated Circuit (ROIC), these detectors are offered in various long
vacuum-life Dewar and Cooler configurations in order to meet the different mechanical and cooling needs of the systems.
Standard Configurations:
• Integrated Detector Dewar Cooler Assemblies (IDDCA) with miniature Stirling-cycle rotary coolers for compact, low power
configuration.
On-request Configurations:
• IDDCA with split Stirling-cycle linear cooler for expanded lifetime and system integration facilitation.
• Detector Dewar Assembly (DDA) with or without Joule-Thomson cooler (pressurized gas cooling)
