CS0615M12A/L26A High-Temperature Gas Detector

The CS0615M12A/L26A is a cooled high-operating-temperature gas-imaging MWIR detector based on type-II superlattice (T2SL) technology. It combines a 640 × 512 array, 15 μm pixel pitch and a 3.2–3.5 μm spectral response for integration into infrared imaging equipment.

Specifications

Product overview

The detector chip operates at 140 K, with a 30 Hz frame rate and NETD ≤18 mK. Cooldown is specified as ≤2 minutes at 23 °C. Listed assembly weight is ≤270 g including the controller, and operability is ≥99.7%. NETD is a thermal-sensitivity metric, not a calibrated temperature-accuracy or gas-concentration limit.

Applications and integration

Application areas include portable leak surveys at oil and gas installations, industrial emission inspections and UAV gas-imaging payloads. Confirm the target gas species, concentration-path length, viewing geometry and scene conditions during system evaluation. No universal gas-detection threshold or explosion-proof certification is implied.

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.
