ECCN 6A992
ATRSOptical Sensors, not controlled by 6A002, as follows .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 6A992 controls optical sensors, not controlled by 6A002, as defined in the entry — the companion for commercial imaging and detection sensors below the higher thresholds. It is controlled for Anti-Terrorism and Regional Stability reasons.
Who needs to check this?
Suppliers of commercial photodetectors, focal-plane arrays, and optical sensors that fall below the 6A002 thresholds.
Compliance tip
Confirm the sensor is not caught by 6A002 (which carries broader NS/RS controls). The RS reason can add destination-specific restrictions; verify the Country Chart and screen all parties.
Items Covered
- 1. Image intensifier tubes having all the following:
- 1.a. A peak response in wavelength range exceeding 400 nm, but not exceeding 1,050 nm;
- 1.b. A microchannel plate for electron image amplification with a hole pitch (center-to-center spacing) of less than 25 micrometers; and
- 1.c. Having any of the following:
- 1.c.1. An S-20, S-25 or multialkali photocathode; or
- 1.c.2. A GaAs or GaInAs photocathode;
- 2. specially designed microchannel plates having both of the following characteristics:
- 2.a. 15,000 or more hollow tubes per plate; and
- 2.b. Hole pitch (center-to-center spacing) of less than 25 micrometers.
- b.Direct view imaging equipment operating in the visible or infrared spectrum, incorporating image intensifier tubes having the characteristics listed in 6A992.a.1.
Control Reasons
