Frequently Asked Questions

The QS5-H pyroelectric sensor is suitable for pulsed laser applications, as well as thermal measurements, laser optics, metrology, inspection, biomedical, and military applications.

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

The QS5-H pyroelectric sensor has a maximum average power of 500 mW, spectral range of 0.1-1000 μm, current responsivity of 0.25 μA/W, thermal frequency of 5 Hz, temperature coefficient of 0.2 %/°C, and aperture diameter of 5 mm.

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

High sensitivity and high average power configurations refer to the two different types of pyroelectric detectors provided by Gentec-EO. High sensitivity detectors are designed for low noise level applications, while high average power detectors are designed for high power applications.
