    Overview
    Our uncooled infrared detectors are manufactured by our sister company, ULIS, located outside Grenoble, France.

    The development of uncooled bolometer technology originated at Laboratoire Infrarouge of the Electronics and Information Technology Laboratory (LETI), a renowned Research and Development Center in Grenoble, France. Since its inception in 2002, ULIS has maintained a close cooperation with LETI in the development of uncooled IR technology. Technological improvements have continued at LETI and ULIS resulting in large-scale production and broad commercialization of advanced bolometer devices. The group continues to advance the technology, taking advantage of the well-established and predictable properties of amorphous silicon. These developments are primarily driven by performance enhancement and cost reduction.

    The manufacturing capability at ULIS has continued to grow, with 21,600 ft² of manufacturing and over 4,500 ft² of clean rooms. Current facilities are designed to support an expected annual production of 100,000 uncooled bolometers. As bolometer performance gets better and better due to significant technological advances, other developments as well as manufacturing efficiencies continue to bring prices down. As a result of the new price points, new commercial markets and new applications are being realized.

    Key to the impressive advances in the design and manufacture of bolometer detectors is the long-term agreement that exists between ULIS and LETI which continues to bring technological improvements as a result of ongoing significant research. Below are some recent technical papers indicative of the quality and magnitude of the research being performed.
