At our Center, we are actively involved in the national development of infrared detector technologies within the field of imaging sensors. Within this scope, we are developing infrared sensors that operate in various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, covering the range of 0.7-12.0 µm.

In this work field, Microbolometer technology has been studied for more than 20 years and is considered the Center’s core technology. Related to this technology, sensors of different resolutions and pixel sizes have been developed, and through strong collaborations, products have reached TRL6. Innovative work continues to this day, with ongoing efforts to improve matured products.

In addition to Microbolometer technology, Type-II Superlattice Detector technology is also being studied in our Center. For this technology, we are developing sensors that operate in both the SWIR band (1-3 µm range) and the MWIR band (3-5 µm range) of the electromagnetic spectrum. The resulting products are expected to provide critical contributions to the security and healthcare sectors.

Another area of research in our Center is Colloidal Quantum Dot (CQD) Detector technology, which offers cost-effective solutions for imaging in the SWIR band. Studies on this technology are expected to pave the way for many applications based on SWIR technology.
