Raytron Microelectronics Unveils Game-Changing SWLP Thermal Sensor Series

In a groundbreaking announcement at the Laser World of Photonics 2025 held in Munich, Raytron Microelectronics showcased their innovative SWLP-based thermal sensor and infrared module series, marking a significant leap in infrared imaging technology. The company highlighted its dedication to pushing the boundaries of thermal imaging solutions by introducing the world's first uncooled Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) sensor, the OHLE 3123, paired with a suite of complementary LWIR, Medium-Wave Infrared (MWIR), and Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) sensors and camera modules.

Premiering the OHLE 3123

The OHLE 3123 uncooled infrared focal plane detector exemplifies Raytron’s cutting-edge capabilities. Featuring a dual-layer encapsulation designed to resist dust and particulates, the sensor eliminates the need for a cleanroom for its operation. Fully compatible with Surface Mount Technology (SMT), it supports a highly efficient and cost-effective manufacturing process. Notable for its ultra-compact size and lightweight design, the OHLE 3123 also delivers high-resolution imaging, making it particularly well-suited for applications in industrial temperature measurement, security surveillance, and outdoor night vision.

Three Pillars of Innovations

Raytron's infrared innovations converge on three main pillars: miniaturization, precision, and adaptive integration.

1. LWIR Camera Modules and Sensors

The company's uncooled LWIR components offer a range of resolutions from 256×192 to 1920×1080, catering to diverse OEM requirements. The flagship Turing L640 stands out with a pixel pitch of 12 µm, exhibiting a Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD) of just 50 mK (0.05 °C) while consuming less than 0.4 W. This combination provides lightweight thermal support for accurate temperature measurements, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), outdoor night vision, and predictive maintenance.

2. SWIR Camera Modules

Raytron's compact PR-GE SWIR camera affords low noise levels, high frame rates, and versatile interface options. It is ideal for enhancing image processing, machine vision, photovoltaic inspection, and space communications, solidifying Raytron’s position in high-performance imaging solutions.

3. Cooled Infrared Modules

Their cooled MWIR modules, such as the Photon H615 and Photon M615L, integrate an advanced Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) design, achieving a sensitivity of up to 20 mK (0.02 °C), rendering them ideal for specialized industries requiring precise thermal imaging capabilities.

OEMs Trust Raytron Microelectronics

Raytron Microelectronics stands out as a trusted provider of infrared thermal imaging cores, thermal sensors, and modules tailored to global OEMs and system integrators. As the first manufacturer to release a 6-micron uncooled infrared detector, Raytron delivers vital technology for a range of fields, including consumer electronics, medical diagnostics, industrial automation, firefighting, and more. Their commitment contributes to creating a smarter, safer, and more connected world.
