M615 MWIR Imaging Core

M615 cooled MWIR imaging core

The M615 is a cooled mid-wave infrared imaging core with a 640 × 512 array, 15 μm pixel pitch and a 3.7–4.8 μm spectral band. It provides a listed 50 Hz frame rate, RS422 control and Camera Link, PAL and SDI video outputs.

Technical specifications

The focal-plane temperature is 80 K. This is the detector operating temperature inside the cooled assembly, not an ambient operating-temperature specification. NETD is listed as ≤18 mK; its test conditions require confirmation. The optical F-number is not stated here because the available notation is ambiguous.

Selection and integration

With a listed mass of 450 g and an envelope of 71 × 119 × 59 mm, M615 can be evaluated against the mounting and balance requirements of a civil inspection gimbal or thermal-imaging instrument. The available video formats provide specific interfaces to review with the host acquisition hardware; simultaneous output operation and connector details should be confirmed.

Application contexts include aerial power-line inspection, forest-fire patrol and ecological monitoring. Cryocooler steady-state consumption is ≤15 W, which does not represent the total imaging-core power budget. For integration, request the complete startup and steady-state electrical requirements, input voltage, interface pinouts and optical mounting details. Include the required field of view and ambient conditions so the optics and thermal arrangement can be assessed for the intended platform.
