01 / Product introduction

Product introduction

Built on type-II superlattice (T2SL) technology with a 15 μm pixel structure, this detector pairs a 1280 × 1024 large-format array with the strong photon-collection capability of a 15 μm pixel. Compared with smaller pixels it offers greater well capacity and signal-to-noise ratio, producing smoother, lower-noise and higher-contrast infrared imagery in high-dynamic-range and long-range observation. It is designed for high-end civil long-range surveillance, industrial NDT, petrochemical park monitoring and research-grade spectral analysis.

03 / Core advantages

Core advantages

01
15 μm large pixel with megapixel formatHigh well capacity and signal-to-noise ratio combine with 1280 × 1024 resolution to deliver both wide coverage and fine detail.
02
High thermal sensitivityAn NETD of ≤18 mK gives keen sensitivity to temperature differences, making weak heat sources and small thermal defects clearly visible.
03
Wide dynamic range and high consistencyAn operability of ≥99.7% and response non-uniformity of ≤8% sustain image quality through sharp ambient-temperature swings.
04
Stable cooling for continuous dutySteady-state consumption of ≤6 W supports round-the-clock online monitoring.
