From single prototypes to uniform series production — a high-quality, scalable manufacturing process built on years of R&D and validated by space-grade deliveries.
End-to-End Manufacturing Pipeline
A complete, vertically integrated process from raw wafer to flight-ready sensor — all under one roof.
Spherical Curvature
Standard curved sensors with uniform spherical radius. Convex and concave configurations available. Ideal for wide-field imaging and Schmidt-type optical systems.
Toroidal & Off-Axis
Non-symmetric curvatures for off-axis optical designs. Enables freeform telescope architectures and multi-mirror configurations with curved focal planes.
Freeform Surfaces
Custom-shaped semiconductors to match any focal surface geometry — including biological surfaces for medical imaging. Full 3D shape control.
Space-Grade Products
Flight-qualified curved sensors meeting stringent thermal, vibration, and radiation requirements for satellite and deep space missions.
Industrial-Grade Products
Production-ready sensors for commercial applications: maritime surveillance, automotive, medical devices, and industrial inspection systems.
Custom Optical Systems
Complete camera and telescope solutions designed around curved sensors — including the CASTLE folded Schmidt telescope and WFAI auroral imager.
CMV 4K Curved
4 Megapixels — Global shutter CMOS. Available in uniform series of 10+ units. Proven reliability in field deployments.
Industrial GradeCMV 12K Curved
12 Megapixels — Back-side illuminated. Convex and concave configurations. Laboratory-grade and space-grade deliveries.
Industrial & Space GradeGigaPyx 46 MPix
46 Megapixels — 108 × 24 mm² active area. Largest curved sensor produced. Off-axis, toroidal, and freeform curvatures.
Custom FabricationWFAI — 3.3 MPix UV Enhanced
3.3 Megapixels, 10 µm pitch — UV-enhanced curved sensor for the Wide Field Auroral Imager. Highly curved radius of 112 mm, over 30 × 17 mm². Designed for space weather monitoring at 130–160 nm wavelengths.
HDPYX 330-G — Medical
2160 × 1536 active pixels, 4.4 µm pitch — Freeform-curved sensor shaped to match biological tissue geometry. Developed for high-resolution brain imaging — conforming to cortical surfaces with 8 mm minimum curvature radius.
Instruments Powered by Curved Sensors
CASTLE — Folded Schmidt Telescope
A compact, all-reflective Schmidt camera using freeform mirrors and a curved focal plane. Proven architecture delivering clean, high-contrast imagery over 3.7 deg² — with homogeneous PSF and zero chromatic aberration.
WFAI — Wide Field Auroral Imager
UV imager for space weather monitoring from SmallSats. 60 × 60° field of view at 130–160 nm. The curved sensor enables a design with only 3 lenses instead of 6, dramatically reducing SWaP.
Administration in Paris, production and R&D in Marseille — two complementary offices serving European and international customers.
