High Resolution 640x512 / 12μm FPA Uncooled IR Detector for Thermal Night Vision

GST612W uncooled thermal imaging detector is one of the Wafer level packaging (WLP) detector series developed by Global Sensor Technology (GST).

Wafer level packaging (WLP) is the process of completing high vacuum packaging directly on the entire MEMS wafer, then scribing and cutting to make a single infrared detector. By using the very cost-effective WLP technology in the market, we have achieved fully optimized SWaP-C and mass production of WLP infrared detectors.

The high resolution and reduced pixel size (640x512 / 12μm) of GST612W FPA infrared detector enables greater thermal imaging quality up to 327,680 pixels. Its larger array can provide more detailed images to meet the needs of higher resolution, wider field of view applications.

Until now, we have provided our customers with various mature and stable infrared thermal imaging solutions. It’s easier for our WLP IR detectors to be integrated into more terminal products and greatly reduces the cost for customers.

- Fully Optimized SWaP-C applications

- Suitable for various infrared products

- A wide range of thermal imaging applications

- Fast supply chain with high volume production

The GST612W uncooled infrared detector is widely used in Thermography, Security & Monitoring, Thermal Night Vision, Smart Building, UAV Payloads etc.

1. What is infrared thermal imaging?

In nature, all objects whose temperature is higher than absolute zero (- 273 ℃) can radiate infrared rays. By using the infrared camera detector to measure the infrared radiation temperature difference between the target itself and the background, you can get different infrared images, which are also called thermal images.

2. How do infrared detectors work?

Infrared radiation that emitted by target enters the sensing range of the thermal detector, then the infrared detector converts the radiation signal of different intensity into the corresponding electrical signal, and then through amplification and video processing, forms the infrared image that can be observed by the naked eyes.

3.What are the advantages of cooled infrared detectors?

The cooled infrared focal plane detector operates at a low temperature which is provided by a detector dewar cooler (ddc). It has high sensitivity and can distinguish more subtle temperature difference than uncooled infrared detector. It can detect, identify and recognize objects at a very long range which is more than ten kilometers away. The structure of cooled detector is very complex which results in a relatively high cost than uncooled detector.
