In-house Production of Pyroelectric Detectors
LASER COMPONENTS Pyro Group, Inc. – New Production Facility in Florida
US34-033
The LASER COMPONENTS Group is expanding its activities in the area of IR components and has taken over the majority of the U.S. manufacturer Microwatt Applications, LLC, the specialist in the development and production of pyroelectric detectors.
This acquisition clearly strengthens the goal of the LC Group to offer our customers as wide a range of IR detector technologies as possible made in house. Microwatt’s employees have many years of experience in the development and production of pyroelectric detectors, providing Laser Components with excellent know-how. The company’s founder, Alan Doctor, is one of the most renowned experts in the area of pyroelectric detectors, and now he is the general manager of the Laser Components Pyro Group, Inc.
With its office in Florida, U.S.A., the Laser Components Pyro Group is a subsidiary of the Laser Components Detector Group (DG).
These two companies complement each other perfectly because the Detector Group is already active in the production of InGaAs PIN detectors and IR emitters.
Product Range
In Florida, pyroelectric detectors are manufactured based on LiTaO3, which is used in industrial gas analysis, medical technology, flame analysis, and process technology. Our premium product is pyrodetectors with DLaTGS as the detector material. They are suited for use in FTIR spectrometers and are also gaining importance in THz applications.
To meet the demands of increasing market expansion, we will be investing: The facility in Florida will be enlarged, and the production and R&D departments expanded.
