Teledyne Imaging has a broad Infrared (IR) technology development roadmap enabling global space missions through the groups US and European operations. Capabilities cover the full infrared spectrum from Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) through Mediumwave Infrared (MWIR) to Longwave Infrared (LWIR and VLWIR).
With in-house capabilities in the US and UK, Teledyne is able to meet any detector requirement from Photodiodes to large custom ROIC FPAs.
Teledyne Imaging has a reputation for producing the highest performance Focal Plane Arrays (FPAs) using Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) technology to grow HgCdTe (also known as MCT) detector substrates.
With the unique material properties of MCT to tune the detector to specific wavelengths and decades of experience in optimising, packaging and hybridizing infrared sensors Teledyne is supplying major ESA and NASA space science and astronomy missions. Teledyne’s IR FPA’s are to be used in prestigious missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Euclid and are currently flying on the Hubble Telescope and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Telescope (WISE).
