1280x1024/12μm Megapixels Cooled FPA Detector High Sensitivity 

The C1212M MWIR MCT FPA detector has high resolution, high performance and high reliability. It offers four times as many pixels in the same active image area as conventional 640x512 products. Its reduced 12µm pixel size offers better spatial resolution and matches shorter optical lens focus to achieve the same range mission. C1212M is an ideal choice for applications that require superior long range performance and image details recognition.

Outstanding Performance
• 1280×1024 high definition for wider FOV and longer distance
• 12μm pixel size for better spatial resolution

Sharp & Clear Image
• High sensitivity, typical NETD as low as 18mK
• Good uniformity, effective pixel rate＞99.5%

Design for Specific Applications
• F number can be customized
• Guarantee continuous supply

 
The C1212M MWIR cryogenically cooled infrared detector is widely used many areas such as Remote Monitoring System, Flight Vision Enhancement System, Multi-sensor Payload etc.
 

1. What is infrared radiation?
When talking about infrared thermal imaging, the first thing to think about is infrared radiation (IR). The wavelength of infrared radiation energy starts at about 700nm and extends to about 1mm. All objects emit a certain amount of heat in the form of infrared radiation, which is invisible to us, because in the entire electromagnetic spectrum, the naked eye can only see "visible light".

2. How does infrared thermal imager work?
The core component of the infrared equipment is the infrared thermal detector, which can sensitively detect the tiny temperature difference of the surrounding objects. Then, it collects this radiation information from the object and outputs the temperature information for imaging, which is based on the temperature difference information. The hotter the object, the more infrared radiation it produces. If the intensity is too high, you can feel it like heat.
