Thales has contracted Lynred to supply its large shortwave infrared detector - Next-Generation Panchromatic - for the CO2M mission as part of Europe’s Copernicus satellite programme
The swir detector will be integrated into the Copernicus Land Surface Temperature Monitoring satellite, and will measure surface temperatures of land experiencing drought
Lynred will invest €2.8m in R&D to develop small pixel pitch SWIR detectors, while New Imaging Technologies has partnered with the French National Research Agency on SWIR quantum dot sensors
Lynred sees 3D stacking technology as key to enabling superior designs in future infrared detectors
