Imaging

Thermal picture of human eye

Acreo develops new imaging devices for non-visible wavelengths. We use advanced semiconductor materials and nanotechnology fabrication methods and integrate with CMOS read-out circuits to functional arrays.

The work is organised around our excellence centre IMAGIC, where we have a close collaboration with industrial and resarch partners.

We specialise on:

Low-cost IR imaging

Highly sensitive CMOS compatible thermistor material for night vision

High performance IR imaging

High-performance IR cameras are needed for applications in defence and security, space technology, search and rescue or other industrial applications. IMAGIC developes semiconductor materials and technologies for new infrared photon detectors based on quantum-dot and superlattice detectors.

UV sensing technology

A new generation of UV detectors based on wide-bandgap semiconductor materials (silicon carbide, gallium nitride, and zinc oxide) is under development. These have the potential to provide very sensitive, compact and low cost solutions for UV detection and imaging.

Terahertz imaging

Terahertz (THz) is a relative newly exploited wavelength region in the electromagnetic spectrum. The technology has recently been adapted for security applications (airport body scanning cameras) and advanced medical diagnostics, TDS (Time domain spectroscopy). IMAGIC developes SiGe Quantum Well microbolometers technology for THz imaging.
