Detector is QWIP-based

Aug. 29, 2006
Compact, 640 × 512, 20-µm pitch, TV-format compatible LWIR detector based on quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs), Sirius makes high-resolution IR detection more affordable to a wider range of customers. Sirius operates at 75 K (-198°C). It uses a compact Stirling microcooler, which significantly reduces the size of other components in the IR detector and, therefore, lowers its cost.
