Message: Inspiring a New Class of Infrared Imaging Systems

Breakthrough 12-micron uncooled pixel technology dramatically reduces size and cost of thermal imaging systems.


Further advancing the technology developed for the 17-micron MIR640 thermal camera core, the TWV640 module is optimized to provide affordable thermal imaging performance in a compact, low-power solution. Our TWV640 camera core captures images through fog, smoke, dust, and haze at 60Hz. The camera core’s high speed video capture allows users to observe dynamic environments revealing details that competitors’ 30Hz offerings miss, while also eliminating the disorientation that comes from using slower video.


Compatible with off-the-shelf lenses from leading optics providers and using standard interface protocols like USB, NTSC and CameraLink, the TWV640 module is a drop-in 640x480 thermal camera core designed for makers of commercial, civil and military thermal imaging solutions. It is well-suited for a wide range of thermal vision system applications including day/night security cameras, firefighting vision systems, process monitoring, handheld targeting systems, automotive cameras, and thermography systems.

I think that's POET IR,using the POET platform.

The POET IR device addresses the need of military and industrial clients for uncooled mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) sensors and cameras – for perimeter security, thermography, medical imaging, automotive forward sensors, and smartphone input applications. It has potential advantages over competitive devices in three aspects:

  • MWIR and LWIR detection in the same pixel. MWIR detection (2-8um) occurs in self-assembled quantum dots with normal incidence light and no diffraction gratings, and uses only the n-type heterointerface within POET. The p-type interface results in LWIR detection (8-12um). By combining both interfaces within POET, MWIR and LWIR detection will be obtained simultaneously in the same pixel.
  • Lower device cooling requirements. Near-room-term temperature operation is another advantage of the POET IR detector, possible because of the lower device dark current.
  • Integrated optoelectronic advantages. The devices provides for the practical integration, for the first time, of the optical detector with the electronic transistor readout and signal-processing circuits. Thus, high-density, single-chip focal-plane arrays are possible using front-side imaging, without resorting to wafer thinning.
