Brief Description
High Resolution 640x512 / 12μm FPA Uncooled IR Detector for Thermal
Night Vision
Product Description
GST612W uncooled thermal imaging detector is one of the Wafer level
packaging (WLP) detector series developed by Global Sensor
Technology (GST).
Wafer level packaging (WLP) is the process of completing high
vacuum packaging directly on the entire MEMS wafer, then scribing
and cutting to make a single infrared detector. By using the very
cost-effective WLP technology in the market, we have achieved fully
optimized SWaP-C and mass production of WLP infrared detectors.
The high resolution and reduced pixel size (640x512 / 12μm) of
GST612W FPA infrared detector enables greater thermal imaging
quality up to 327,680 pixels. Its larger array can provide more
detailed images to meet the needs of higher resolution, wider field
of view applications.
Until now, we have provided our customers with various mature and
stable infrared thermal imaging solutions. It’s easier for our WLP
IR detectors to be integrated into more terminal products and
greatly reduces the cost for customers.
Main Features:
- Fully Optimized SWaP-C applications
- Suitable for various infrared products

About Global Sensor Technology
FAQs
1. What is infrared thermal imaging?
In nature, all objects whose temperature is higher than absolute
zero (- 273 ℃) can radiate infrared rays. By using the infrared
camera detector to measure the infrared radiation temperature
difference between the target itself and the background, you can
get different infrared images, which are also called thermal
images.
2. How do infrared detectors work?
Infrared radiation that emitted by target enters the sensing range
of the thermal detector, then the infrared detector converts the
radiation signal of different intensity into the corresponding
electrical signal, and then through amplification and video
processing, forms the infrared image that can be observed by the
naked eyes.
3.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.
