Groundbreaking, Complete Package for IR Applications beyond the 5 µm Limit

Groundbreaking, Complete Package for IR Applications beyond the 5 µm Limit

With the 55+ series, LASER COMPONENTS opens new areas of application for IR technology.  The components are matched to provide the best results at wavelengths between 5 µm and 10 µm. This range of the infrared spectrum is currently used very little for analytical purposes.  

LASER COMPONENTS’ pyroelectric detectors in “differential mode” are based on patented technology from the corporate group. As a result, they achieve an unrivaled signal-to-noise ratio and can show their strengths particularly well in the wavelength range beyond 5 µm.

The IR emitters from the Dresden-based manufacturer Infrasolid, which are also patented, offer near-perfect efficiency at modulations up to 5 Hz and wavelengths up to 15 µm. This package includes the version in the TO-8 housing with a reflector and Winston cone on a standard basis. Alternatively, however, the emitters are also available in 3×3 mm SMD housings for miniaturized designs.

The detector-emitter combination is complemented by filters that are customized to the application.

“Most IR applications today focus on the detection of natural gas and combustion gases and thus on the wavelength range between 3 µm and 5 µm,” says Joe Kunsch, head of the IR components business unit at LASER COMPONENTS Germany. “However, there are also interesting areas of application beyond the 5 µm limit (e.g., the characterization of organic compounds). The fossil age is nearing its end. That's where this area of the IR spectrum is becoming more and more important.”
