IRnova

Acreo has a long experience and deep knowledge of development and production of QWIP (Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors). In March 2007 the infrared QWIP detector department became the independent company IRnova AB.

IRnova supplies high quality, high performance infrared detectors to infrared module, camera and system manufacturers worldwide. IRnova’s main focus today is on development and production of QWIP FPAs (Focal Plane Arrays). The QWIP grating is based on Acreo’s patented solution, for which IRnova holds an exclusive license.

The QWIP development and production within Acreo and IRnova has a rather long history with thousands of produced detectors and volume shipments of high quality products to major infrared module, system and camera manufacturers around the world. At IRnova research and development is also ongoing for new IR-technologies such as T2SL (Type|| Superlattice), uncooled technology as well as for new products in other areas requiring similar technology knowledge and production capability.
