Pyroelectric radiation detectors
IRDetector-30 and IRDetector-32

Pyroelectric detector

Description

IRDetector 30/(-32) — the series of high-sensitive pyroelectric IR range radiation detectors. This is a compact, light-weighted and low-cost solution for a variety of IR detecting applications. Wide spectral range from 4 — 22 µm (2 — 20 µm). Analog voltage output version has standard BNC output connector and external power supply. USB version of the detector can be directly connected to a PC. Software and LabVIEW® VI are free of charge and included in the delivery. Two formfactors (In-line and Side) and multiple accessories ensure versatile application of the instrument.

Applications:
— detection of radiation in mid-IR range;
— non-invasive temperature probing.
