Uncooled Microbolometer Cores
Up to 960 fps
8-12μm , NETD <30 mK
Overview
Our high frame rate Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) imaging core are designed around a unique uncooled microbolometer, which running with a fixed bias voltage allows for fast readout of the data out of the detector, without impacting its NETD.
Like all our imaging cores, these high frame rate thermal imaging cores can be customized with any of the following options:
- Size, designed to fit specific spaces, shapes and mounting
- Firmware. Library of firmware functions that can be implemented
- Interface. Customizable interface for different communication protocols
- Frame rate. the imaging core frame rate can be factory set up to 960 fps. See section below for the tradeoff between frame rate and vertical resolution.
Frame Rate
Employing a continues Bias technology, those a-Si microbolometers can be operated at a high frame rate without degradation of the noise performance and the NETD.
However, when factory setting a detector to a certain frame rate, the number of rows that can be read out of the ROIC at that rate, can decrease.
The table to the right provides the resolution to expect at any given frame rate.
