    Sofradir and ULIS will combine into one new entity called Lynred in order to streamline operations and accelerate growth in developing infrared technologies.
    Lynred is the new identity under which its 1,000 staff will provide the widest range of advanced IR technologies.
    Five-year investment to develop next-generation IR detectors aims to strengthen Europe's microelectronics ecosystem.
    New organization includes two new departments: innovation and strategic projects, and the product development and maturity.
    FIGURE 1. A VGA 15 μm pixel pitch mid-wave infrared (MWIR) detector with digital interface is optimized for size, weight, and power (SWaP), weighing in at 0.40 kg with a cool-down time of 3 min and 20 s.
    Advances in infrared imaging offer new capabilities and applications for defense, security, research, biomedicine, and manufacturing. Particularly, pixel pitch and packaging improvement...

    A Sofradir VEGA QWIP-based FPA is used for thermal imaging of military vehicles (top left, IR image from QWIP camera; top right, visible image of vehicle). The FPA, housed in its integrated detector dewar assembly, is seen at lower right; the Thales camera into which the assembly is integrated is see at lower left.
    With their low cost and high uptime, quantum-well infrared detector focal-plane arrays compete well with mercury cadmium telluride for some uses in the long-wave infrared.
