VIGO Photonics is a global leader in the design and manufacturing of high-performance infrared detectors. For over 35 years, we have been delivering advanced technologies used in the most demanding applications — from industrial sectors to space programs and strategic defense and security systems.
Our solutions play a key role in modern military systems, including observation, reconnaissance, targeting, and early threat detection. VIGO technologies help build operational superiority on today’s battlefield — day and night, in all weather conditions.
We provide single- and multi-element detectors as well as focal plane arrays (FPAs) for advanced optoelectronic systems used in:
● laser warning and detection systems,
● Intelligent Seeker Heads for Munitions,
● high-performance infrared imaging including drone detection systems,
● ultrafast fire detection and suppression systems,
● optical spectroscopy systems for CBRN threat detection.

VIGO has developed its own competencies in the design and production of focal plane arrays, positioning the company at the technological forefront of MWIR and LWIR imaging systems. We have engineered a cooled T2SL-based FPA in a 640 × 512 format with a 15 μm pixel pitch — a reliable detection module designed to meet the requirements of the most demanding military applications. By the end of 2026, we plan to launch a new production line dedicated to this solution, enabling us to fulfill large-scale orders.
All detectors and components are manufactured at our facility in Ożarów Mazowiecki, Poland, where we maintain full control over every stage of the production process — from epitaxy and wafer processing to assembly and packaging. This vertical integration ensures product quality, traceability, and flexibility in responding to custom requirements.
VIGO Photonics products meet the stringent standards required in military and space applications. They undergo rigorous environmental and durability testing to guarantee reliable operation in the most extreme conditions. We deliver more than just components — we are a true technology partner. Our engineering teams work closely with customers to tailor solutions to their mission-specific and operational needs.
Join us in developing next-generation systems for observation, reconnaissance, and defense based on cutting-edge photonics.
Together, let’s build the security of the future.
