M615-hot High-Temperature MWIR Imaging Core

M615-hot cooled MWIR imaging core

The M615-hot is a cooled MWIR imaging core with 640 × 512 resolution, 15 μm pixels and a 3.7–4.8 μm response band. Its listed focal-plane temperature is 130 K, with a 50 Hz frame rate and NETD of ≤18 mK.

Technical specifications

The 130 K specification describes the focal plane, not the surrounding air. The listed cooldown time is ≤4 min at 23 °C. NETD test conditions and the complete ambient operating range still require confirmation before using these values in an acceptance test.

Selection and integration

The core has a mass of ≤330 g and an envelope of 83 × 98 × 49 mm. Its control interface is RS422, with Camera Link, PAL and SDI video outputs. For a handheld thermal terminal or civil UAV payload, these are concrete starting points for checking installation space, balance and compatibility with the host display or image-acquisition system.

Application contexts include aerial power-line inspection, search and rescue, forest-fire observation and ecological monitoring. Cryocooler steady-state consumption is ≤13 W; additional electronics and startup requirements must be included in the complete system power budget. Provide the required operating duration, mounting arrangement and video format in an inquiry. Confirm input voltage, peak electrical demand, optical configuration and connector pinouts for the exact assembly before selecting the power supply.
