01 / Product introduction

Product introduction

Built on a type-II superlattice (T2SL) 130 K high-operating-temperature MWIR detector with a miniature Stirling cooler and an ultra-light processing board, this core optimises size, weight, power and cost together. The raised chip operating temperature sharply reduces the cooling burden, bringing cooldown to ≤4 min and steady-state draw to ≤13 W in a 330 g body — purpose-built for handheld thermal cameras, lightweight UAV electro-optical gimbals and automotive night-vision systems in strictly civil applications.

02 / Core application scenarios

Core application scenarios

01
Civil UAV and unmanned system payloadsAerial power-line inspection, rapid forest-fire warning, emergency search and rescue, and lightweight gimbals for ecological monitoring.
02
Handheld portable thermal terminalsExplosion-proof handheld instruments for industrial fault-finding, fire-service residual-fire search and building energy-loss assessment.
03
Connected vehicles and driver assistance (ADAS)Night-time driving assistance for commercial and passenger vehicles, and pedestrian and obstacle recognition in fog, dust and heavy rain.
04
Industrial automation and unattended monitoringOnline thermal-distribution monitoring of industrial kilns and 24-hour intelligent inspection of substation thermal faults.

03 / Core advantages

Core advantages

01
High-temperature operation, lower powerA 130 K chip operating temperature holds steady-state consumption to ≤13 W, easing thermal management and extending battery runtime for handheld and unmanned payloads.
02
Light and easy to integrateA 330 g core in an 83 × 98 × 49 mm envelope embeds readily into ultra-light UAV gimbals and handheld equipment where weight and space are critical.
03
Ready in four minutesCooldown of ≤4 min (@23 °C) removes long waits and improves responsiveness for civil emergency inspection work.
04
Advanced algorithms, refined image qualityBuilt-in non-uniformity correction, digital detail enhancement and 3D noise reduction with an NETD of ≤18 mK deliver smooth, high-contrast thermal imagery around the clock.
