CS0615M/L26A High-Temperature MWIR Detector

The CS0615M/L26A is a cooled high-operating-temperature MWIR detector based on type-II superlattice (T2SL) technology. It combines a 640 × 512 array, 15 μm pixel pitch and a 3.7–4.8 μm spectral response for integration into infrared imaging equipment.

Specifications

Product overview

The detector chip operates at 140 K. Listed performance includes a 50 Hz frame rate, NETD ≤18 mK and operability ≥99.7%. Cooldown is specified as ≤2 minutes at 23 °C. The assembly weight is ≤270 g including the controller; this is not the weight of a complete camera or payload.

Applications and integration

Civil application areas include handheld industrial inspection, UAV thermal payloads, building heat-loss assessment and industrial non-destructive testing. Vehicle night-vision development is another integration context. Actual field of view, detection performance and temperature measurement depend on the complete optics and electronics.

The electrical limits above apply to cryocooler input, not total detector-system or camera power. The ≤3 W DC steady-state limit applies specifically at 140 K cold-end temperature and 23 °C ambient. Confirm optics, readout and control interfaces, mechanical dimensions and acceptance conditions for the selected configuration. NETD is thermal sensitivity, not calibrated temperature accuracy.
