High Sensitivity 400x300 / 17μm Thermal VOx Sensor, Thermal Imaging Detector for Harsh Environments

GST417M is one of the metal packing uncooled focal plane array detectors developed by Global Sensor Technology (GST). With standard 400x300 QVGA format at 17μm, the GST417M uncooled microbolometer sensor will exceed your most demanding requirements.

Based on metal package technics and TEC technology, GST417M thermal imaging detector sensor has high sensitivity, stable performance characteristics and can present clear imaging quality in various kinds of harsh working environment such as total darkness, thick fog, heavy rain, snow, sand storm etc.

As a leading infrared detector and thermal imaging module supplier, Global Sensor Technology (GST) has provided the customers with various mature and stable infrared thermal imaging solutions. It’s easier for WLP uncooled VOx microbolometer sensors developed by GST to be integrated into more terminal products and greatly reduces the cost for customers.

1. How does uncooled focal plane array microbolometer work?

By using the principle of infrared radiant thermal effect, the uncooled infrared detector converts infrared radiation energy into heat energy with infrared absorption material, so that the temperature of the sensitive material increases. Then, a certain physical parameter of the sensitive material changes accordingly and converts into electrical signal or visible light signal through a certain conversion mechanism designed to realize the detection of the object.

2. What's the advantage of uncooled vox microbolometer?

Uncooled infrared focal plane detector does not need an Integrated Dewar Cooler Assembly (IDCA) device and can work at room temperature. It has the advantages of fast start, low power consumption, small size, light weight, long life, low cost and so on. Although the sensitivity of uncooled infrared focal plane detector is not as good as that of cooled infrared detectors, after years of development, its cost performance has been obviously better than the cooled detector, which has a broader application prospect.
