Description
**Introducing the BeckonIR™-XX-YYYY Handheld Infrared Beacon** The BeckonIR™-XX-YYYY by Pranalytica, Inc. is a state-of-the-art handheld infrared beacon designed to deliver exceptional performance in a compact form. Utilizing advanced quantum cascade laser (QCL) technology, this autonomous beacon serves as a high average power, pulsed source of infrared radiation. Operating at a wavelength of 4.6 µm, it produces over 2.0 watts of average power, while at 8.5 µm, it generates up to 1.5 watts.
The system supports a range of wavelengths from 4 to 12 µm, each offering varying power levels to suit diverse applications. This innovative system provides a fully collimated beam with up to 90 degrees of divergence, with additional beam shapes available, including 2π coverage. Despite not being optimized for minimum size, the BeckonIR™-XX-YYYY is self-contained, featuring rechargeable or disposable batteries that allow for multi-hour operating times.
The device can be configured as a fieldable system weighing less than 400 grams, with dimensions not exceeding 15 cm x 6 cm x 3 cm, including batteries. Further size reductions can be achieved, making it an ideal choice for portable applications. **Advanced Pulse Shaping and Stability** The BeckonIR™-XX-YYYY is equipped with sophisticated pulse shaping and power conditioning electronics housed within a hermetically sealed package. This package includes the QCL and associated output beam optics, ensuring reliable performance.
The system supports a wide variety of output pulse trains, including complex sequences, and requires no field adjustments, maintaining stability over extended periods. An OEM version is also available for integration into customer instrumentation, providing flexibility for various deployment scenarios. **Contact Information** For more information or to discuss specific requirements, please contact Mr. Frank McGuire at Pranalytica, Inc., an ISO 9001 Certified Company.
