ULIS Extends Its High-Definition Thermal Imaging Product Line
ULIS (Veurey-Voroize, France), a leading infrared vision specialist making
affordable uncooled thermal sensors for civilian and military applications,
announces that it will introduce a new compact 640 x 480 17 micron Infrared (IR)
detector.
ULIS' new compact 640 x 480 17-micron IR detector is
designed to significantly upgrade the image quality of IR cameras used in
surveillance, enhanced night driving and thermography (i.e. detecting heat loss
in buildings). The detector's footprint, 24 x 24 mm², one of the smallest on the
sensor market, will enable camera makers to gain increased resolution (640 x
480) without requiring an increase in system size. This fulfils a previously
unmet need in camera compactness and performance. Camera makers will also
benefit from the 17-micron's additional advantages, such as its low power
consumption, less than 0.160 W, the lowest in this product category, and its
lightweight, less than 10g, which is among the lightest on this
market.
"ULIS' track record in delivering high quality
products in large volumes will allow us to be the first to make tens of
thousands of this very compact, high resolution 640 x 480 17-micron IR detector
commercially available," says Jean-Francois Delepau, managing director of
ULIS.
With this new IR detector, ULIS further expands its
high-definition product line, bringing the company closer to offering a
full-range of 17-micron thermal sensor formats. The product is currently
undergoing client evaluation. Volume production is expected to begin Q2
2010.
