ULIS has established a new record for the response time of bolometers.
The response time is a performance parameter characterizing how quickly the bolometric pixel membrane responds to incident infrared radiation changes, and it should not be mixed up with "integration time". The response time is typically determined by the thermal time constant of the pixel structure:
τ = Themal Mass (in J/K) x Thermal Resistance (in K/W) .
We developed a 17um pitch pixel with a NETD = 48mK and τ = 2.5ms, which gives a (bolometric) thermal image sensor at least 4 times faster than the state-of-the-art. These results were presented this month at the 8th International Symposium on Optronics in Defense & Security, Paris (OPTRO 2018).
ULIS is now seeking feedback from potential customers in industrial applications (and more) before considering the integration of this new pixel technology in a future product with high frame rate capability.

6yfor high speed thermal imaging we need cooled camera with shorter exposure time or integration time. FLIR Cooled LWIR could be good to use.
