The sensitivity of an infrared detector, a key component in infrared imaging systems, depends heavily on the quality of its encapsulation. At Egide, we master the entire manufacturing chain, from component design to final assembly, to deliver hermetic, robust and durable IR solutions.


A complete solution, ready to integrate into your systems

Unlike many suppliers, Egide offers a complete assembled infrared detector solution, adapted to the most stringent requirements. Our integrated approach ensures perfect compatibility between elements, maximum reliability and consistent performance over time.


Why is hermeticity essential?

Hermetic encapsulation is the key to optimal longevity: it protects the detector against moisture, gases and contaminants, while ensuring leak-free operation and maintening high quality vacuum (or gas containment) essential for  stable performance, even in the most extreme environments.
