CS0615L20A/R48A Cooled LWIR Detector

The CS0615L20A/R48A is a cooled LWIR detector based on type-II superlattice (T2SL) technology. It combines a 640 × 512 array, 15 μm pixel pitch and a 7.8–10.4 μm spectral response for integration into infrared imaging equipment.

Specifications

Product overview

The detector has a listed 100 Hz frame rate, NETD ≤30 mK and operability ≥99%. Cooldown is listed as ≤7 minutes and weight as ≤580 g. NETD describes sensitivity to temperature differences; it is not a calibrated temperature-measurement accuracy specification.

Applications and integration

Application areas include industrial process monitoring, building heat-loss assessment and inspection of power or renewable-energy equipment. Night-vision and emergency-imaging development require validation under actual scene conditions; performance through smoke, rain or fog is not guaranteed by the wavelength band.

The electrical limits above apply to cryocooler input, not total detector-system or camera power. The ≤10 W DC steady-state limit applies specifically at 77 K cold-end temperature and 23 °C ambient. Confirm optics, readout and control interfaces, mechanical dimensions and acceptance conditions for the selected configuration.
