New from Ulis, the UL 04 17 1 the the company's third-generation uncooled microbolometer detector for low-cost thermal imagery with a high spatial resolution.

The new device is designed for civil use in thermography, FLIRs and microscopes, particularly for medical and military applications.

This high-definition array benefits from a NTSC television-type format for comfort during operations that require the best precision.

Its technology is based on a resistive amorphous silicon bolometer.

As it requires no cryogenic cooling system, optical modulator, or mechanical sweep mechanism, this compact device, with its small detector chip and package, ensures optimal performance for portable thermal cameras.

The new 640 x 480 pixel focal plane array with a pitch of 25um has a spectral response in bandwidths ranging from 8 to 14um.
