Frequently Asked Questions

The advantages of a pyroelectric detector are room temperature operation, broad spectral response, high sensitivity, and fast response.

The Gentec-EO Discrete Pyroelectric Sensor is provided in two configurations: high sensitivity or high average power.

The Gentec-EO Discrete Pyroelectric Sensor has a maximum average power of 500 mW, a spectral range of 0.1 - 1000 μm, a current responsivity of 0.25 μA/W, a thermal frequency of 5 Hz, and a temperature coefficient of 0.2 %/°C.

The Gentec-EO Discrete Pyroelectric Sensor has an aperture diameter of 2 mm, absorber MT, dimensions of 9.1Ø x 6.4D mm, and a weight of 0.001 kg. It is packaged in a TO5 package.

A pyroelectric detector is a thermal detector that produces a current output proportional to the rate of change of temperature when exposed to radiation.
