Pyroelectric infrared detectors from InfraTec

Current Issue of Sensor News

Dear Readers,

Less than a year ago, we launched our PYRONEER detector series for use in spectroscopy. At that time, all the attention was focused on our first detector with based on DLaTGS (deuterated L-alanine doped triglycine sulphate), the DSV-7311. Despite all the enthusiasm for the new detector material in our range, we have not lost sight of our products based on high-quality, monocrystal lithium tantalate and have redesigned them.

New LiTaO3-Detectors and ZnSe Window for the PYRONEER Series from InfraTec

LSV-7313 and LSV-9313

Redesign for LiTaO3 Detectors of the PYRONEER Series

With the introduction of DLaTGS as a pyroelectric last year, InfraTec created the new PYRONEER series, which also includes spectrometer detectors based on LiTaO3. These well-proven detectors with a precious metal black layer have now been redesigned. The first new detectors LSV-7313 and LSV-9313 with ⌀1.3 mm and ⌀2.0 mm sensor elements respectively are optimized for short thermal time constants and replace the previous LIE-332f and LIE-312f.

ZnSe Window

Moisture-resistant Detectors with Zinc Selenite Window

For particularly harsh environments, PYRONEER detectors are now available with zinc selenide windows with anti-reflective coating (ARC). The new window material is inherently more resistant to moisture. By soldering the ZnSe window into the detector cap, by this a hermetically sealed connection is created and no moisture can penetrate the detector via this route.

Reliable Detectors for Medical Gas Analysis

Precise, continuous real-time measurement of the concentrations of inhaled and exhaled gases during an operation is vital for patients. This is why the Chinese company Shenzhen Prior-Care Science Technology only uses highly reliable detectors in its analyzers. The LRM-284 detector, which is characterized by its high stability and consistency, was selected for two devices.

Applic­a­tions of Infrared Detectors

A pyroelectric detector with its high long-term stability can be used for accurate measurements of infrared radiation. As a thermal detector, it possesses (unlike semiconductor detectors) a very broad spectral sensitivity from 100 nm to about 1,000 µm and requires no cooling. Pyroelectric detectors are powerful thermal infrared detectors that can measure signals up to the kilohertz range. Short pulses can be detected up to a few microseconds.
