LWIR (Long-Wave Infrared, 8–14μm) cameras are specialized imaging devices designed for thermal radiation detection at room temperature. They operate by capturing the naturally emitted long-wave infrared energy from objects, converting surface temperature distributions into high-contrast visual images. LWIR imaging can produce clear images in complete darkness, haze, smoke, and other visually challenging environments. Applications are widespread, including industrial non-contact temperature measurement, building energy diagnostics, security surveillance, firefighting and search operations, medical screening, and autonomous driving night vision.
Attostek provides a comprehensive series of LWIR solutions, ranging from complete thermal imaging cameras and core modules to fully integrated thermal imaging systems. Our product offerings include three main types: uncooled LWIR cameras based on Vanadium Oxide (VOx), cooled cameras using Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) or Type-II Superlattice (T2SL) materials, and High Operating Temperature (HOT) cooled LWIR cameras. Available resolutions cover models such as 640×512, 1024×768, and 1280×1024, with support for various industrial and display interfaces including GigE, USB 3.0, CameraLink, and MIPI.
