Lynred

LYNRED is a French maker of infrared detectors and thermal imaging modules. It offers the largest range of advanced infrared sensors and modules for applications where size, weight and power are tight.

The company offers 43 product families. Its ranges include cooled detectors, uncooled detectors, cores and SWIR sensors. Its products cover the infrared spectrum from SWIR to VLWIR.

Named products include the YOCTO1024 compact thermal sensor, the CAPT640-02 for automotive perception, the DRACO MW SL SXGA detector for photon limited conditions, the ARGO MW SL VGA detector, the SIROCCO SW for SWIR spectrometry and imaging, the SPACE SIROCCO SW for space hyperspectral imaging, and the PICO640S BB 7-14 for optical gas imaging.

LYNRED serves eight markets: defence, space, drones, security and surveillance, hunting and leisure, environment, automotive and mobility, and machine vision. The DRACO MW SL is described as optimized for land and Counter-UAV systems. In September 2026 the company launched the CAPT640, which it calls Europe's first thermal imaging sensor for the automotive industry.

The company says it works with customers to develop products that meet their own needs. It also has a press room, publishes white papers and shares a mobility dataset for automotive work.

LYNRED has its headquarters, development and production site in Veurey-Voroize, France. Its US office is in Fairfield, New Jersey. Its subsidiary NIT, New Imaging Technologies, sells premium SWIR products from Verrieres le Buisson, France.
