About C615M Cooled Infrared Detector
Mid Wavelength 640x512 / 15μm MWIR Cooled Infrared Detector
Product Description
C615M MWIR is one of the HgCdTe/MCT cooled infrared detectors
developed by Global Sensor Technology (GST). It is with the most
popular 640x512 / 15μm spec for almost all possible applications
like long range surveillance system, handheld thermal imagers, gas
leakage detection cameras etc. Its wavelength, F number and
mounting surface can be customized, which are specially designed
for the customers’ requirements.
For applications that require compact design, small size and low
power consumption, the C615M MWIR cooled IR detector with RS046
detector dewar cooler will be an ideal choice. On one hand, the
RS046 cryocooler is smaller in size than RS058, on the other hand,
besides the commonly used F4 spec, this integrated dewar cooler
assembly also has the option of F5.5 configuration to match the
even smaller optics. It is therefore preferred by handheld imager
manufacturers.
As a leading thermal uncooled IR detector and thermal sensor module
supplier, Global Sensor Technology (GST) has provided the customers
with various mature and stable infrared thermal imaging solutions.
It’s easier for the infrared detectors developed by GST to be
integrated into more terminal products and greatly reduces the cost
for customers.

FAQs
1. What is the difference between uncooled and cooled IR detectors?
There are currently two types of infrared thermal imaging sensors
on the market, cooled and uncooled.
Uncooled IR detector operates at ambient temperature. It is based
on semi-conductor industry and thus usually can be fabricated in
big volume with small size and low cost. Uncooled IR detectors are
widely used in portable/handheld/mobile devices.
Cooled IR detectors are packaged in a unit that keeps them at an
extremely low temperature which shall be supported by a cryo
cooler. They are much bigger, more expensive and less reliable than
uncooled sensors, mainly due to the complex cooling systems they
require. However, the cooled systems are incredibly sensitive and
usually work with long focal length optics to achieve long range
mission.
2. What are the advantages of cooled infrared detectors?
The cooled infrared focal plane detector operates at a low
temperature which is provided by a detector dewar cooler (ddc). It
has high sensitivity and can distinguish more subtle temperature
difference than uncooled infrared detector. It can detect, identify
and recognize objects at a very long range which is more than ten
kilometers away. The structure of cooled detector is very complex
which results in a relatively high cost than uncooled detector.
