It provides the highest environmental integrity along with the superior performance of focal plane detectors. |
 | Eagle LW The Eagle long wave is a 640 x 512 mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) integrated detector cooler assembly (IDCA) designed for very high performance imaging in the 8 - 10µm waveband. Eagle uses the SELEX S&AS UK MCT process and provides the highest environmental integrity along with the superior performance of focal plane detectors. |
 | Merlin MW Currently in development, the Merlin MW is 1024 x 768 mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) integrated detector cooler assembly (IDCA) designed for very high performance imaging in the 3 - 5µm waveband. Merlin uses the SELEX S&AS UK MCT process and provides the highest environmental integrity along with the superior performance of focal plane detectors |
 | Harrier LW Currently in development, the Harrier LW is 640 x 512 mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) integrated detector cooler assembly (IDCA) designed for very high performance imaging in the 8 - 10 µm waveband. Harrier LW uses the SELEX S&AS UK MCT process and provides the highest environmental integrity along with the superior performance of focal plane detectors |
| Hawk The Hawk medium wave infrared detector is a compact light weight 640 x 512 mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) integrated detector cooler assembly (IDCA) designed for very high performance low cost imaging in the 3 - 5µm waveband. HAWK uses the SELEX S&AS UK MCT process and provides the highest environmental integrity along with the superior performance of focal plane detectors. |
 | Osprey C MW A compact light weight 384 x 288 MCT integrated detector cooler assembly (IDCA), designed for high performance, low cost imaging in the 3 - 5µm waveband. Osprey-C uses the SELEX S&AS MCT process and provides the highest environmental integrity along with the superior performance of focal plane detectors. |
 | Osprey C LW The Osprey C LW is a compact light weight 384 x 288 mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) integrated detector cooler assembly (IDCA) designed for very high performance and low cost imaging in the 8 - 10 µm waveband. Merlin uses the SELEX S&AS UK MCT process and provides the highest environmental integrity along with the superior performance of focal plane detectors |
 | CONDOR II Currently in development, the Condor II dual band detector is a 640 x 512 mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) integrated detector cooler assembly (IDCA) designed for very high performance imaging in the 3 to 5 and 8 to 10µm wavebands. Operation is either MW, LW or both MW and LW bands per frame. |
 | SWAN The Swan detector is a unique product offering a variety of imaging modes within one compact lightweight 320 x 256 MCT integrated detector assembly (IDCA). The detector can be used for laser gated imaging at the eyesafe 1.5µm wavelength, or high performance passive thermal imaging in the 3 - 5µm waveband. The Swan detector can also be used for passive or solar imaging in the short waveband. This combination of imaging modes allows electro-optic systems to be designed with much lower costs, size and weight. |
 | WREN The Wren detector is a high performance single element DLATGS pyroelectric infrared detector designed for use in infrared microscopy and spectroscopy applications. This detector operates at ambient temperature so requires no cooling. It has been developed to offer an alternative to conventional cooled single element technologies, and offers the user the benefit of a broad band IR response (0.1 to >100µm) and without the inconvenience or cost of maintaining a cooling system. |
 | JAY The Jay is a 16 element (8 x 2) MCT detector in a liquid nitrogen cooled dewar, designed for high performance infrared spectroscopy imaging. With SELEX's expertise and 50 year heritage in material growth techniques, this product offers the superior performance and quality of SELEX's in house grown Cadmium Mercury Telluride material, originally developed for critical military applications. |
 | DLATGS Infrared detectors for instrumentation SELEX S&AS UK are the leading manufacturer of DLATGS detectors for infrared spectrometers supplying high performance detectors at competitive prices to major infrared spectrometer manufacturers all over the world. DLATGS detectors are pyroelectric and can be operated uncooled or with temperature stabilisation. They are supplied in a range of element sizes with options of hermetic sealing, parylene coating, filter material, pin configuration and performance characteristics. |
