LightPath LWIR Camera Solutions

CST-SOLO S640 (1)

CST-SOLO (S640) Thermal Imaging Core

The CST-SOLO (S640) thermal focal plane array is our latest innovation, delivering 640x480 resolution with a 10-micron pitch. This design allows system engineers to achieve an optimized SWaP profile compared to traditional 17- or 12-micron focal planes. Ideal for industrial, aerospace, and commercial thermal imaging applications, this solution:

  • Offers high performance at a cost-effective price
  • Is available with or without high-performance lens configurations
  • Includes optional AI capabilities for smart and autonomous applications
  • Incorporates shutterless NUC technology for continuous, uninterrupted imaging and reduced maintenance needs

LightPath’s revolutionary thermal imaging technology empowers developers to build advanced yet efficient systems that remain compact, mobile, and reliable in all conditions.

High-Sensitivity Thermal Cameras (1)

High-Sensitivity Thermal Cameras

Our high-sensitivity LWIR cameras are built for precision detection in environments where performance cannot be compromised. Leveraging advanced Uncooled VOx designs and system-level engineering, these cameras excel in applications requiring:

  • Accurate detection of subtle thermal differences
  • Situational awareness in challenging conditions
  • Enhanced reliability for defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure monitoring

Each system is engineered for size, weight, and power (SWaP) optimization to ensure maximum performance without trade-offs

General-Purpose LWIR Cameras (1)

General-Purpose LWIR Cameras

For versatile use across industrial and commercial applications, our general-purpose LWIR cameras deliver performance and value in one. Designed for scalability and adaptability, these systems provide:

  • Reliable thermal imaging for monitoring, inspection, and safety
  • Flexible integration into industrial and research environments
  • Options for both off-the-shelf and customized configurations

Built on the same legacy of quality and precision as our specialized cameras, these general-purpose solutions allow organizations to access LightPath performance for broader use cases.
