High-end IR Components

Here you will find sophisticated IR components that set new trends or redefine the state of the art. Many of these components have been specially tailored to specific applications – including unusual but forward-looking areas. The content of this page is constantly being expanded, because our developers are always working on the pulse of time.

Pyroelectric Receiver No1

Compact and universal receivers with high quality electronics for the LWIR and THz range.

High-End Pyro Receivers

The PR series pyroelectric receivers are a perfect blend of high-quality detector technology and high-end electronics.

The Pyroelectric Receiver No1 convinces as a universal workhorse for precise measurements - especially in the long-wave infrared (LWIR) and THz range where conventional semiconductor detectors with thermo-electric cooling reach their limits. The versatile component is available in an IR and a THz variant. Its 3 dB bandwidth is 8 kHz and its linearity over 4 decades is better than 1%. You can make corrections to your own measurement data using the included individual measurement protocol.

Pyroelectric detectors are inherently spectrally flat and thus detect wavelengths in MIR and NIR, visible light, and even shorter wavelengths.

The Pyroelectric Receiver No1 is a key component towards a "democratic" FTIR and for QC laser-based application development above 10 µm.
