LWIR-62 Hyperspectral Imager

All Products › LWIR-62 Hyperspectral Imager

LWIR-62 is a longwave infrared hyperspectral imager operating in the 9–11 µm band that captures full spectral data cubes at video rates for real-time thermal and material analysis.

Built on BD&E’s patented HyperPixel Array™ snapshot technology, LWIR-72 produces 17 × 13 spatial by 72 spectral data cubes at 60 cubes per second with no moving parts, eliminating scan time and motion artifacts. Featuring an LN₂-cooled MCT focal plane array for high sensitivity, it is optimized for standoff detection, chemical defense, environmental monitoring, medical imaging, and other advanced applications where precise thermal spectral information is critical.
