Features

RELATIVE MEASUREMENTS FROM 0.1 TO 30 THz: Broadband, room temperature operation, easier to use and less expensive than a Golay cell

  

EASY TO INTEGRATE FORMAT: TO5 and TO8 packages make the QS-THZ detectors small and easy to integrate in an existing system

   

SEVERAL SENSOR SIZES AVAILABLE: Choice of 2 x 2 mm, 5 and 9 mm Ø

   

CALIBRATED AT 0.63 μm: All THz detectors are calibrated at a single wavelength (0.63 μm) and include a typical wavelength correction data from 0.25 to 440 μm. They are used for relative measurements outside that range.

   

TEST BOX AVAILABLE: Can be used with our QS-I-TEST test box which provides mounting and power supply

  

PERMANENT IR WINDOW OPTIONS: Every model can be fitted with a permanent IR window to narrow the wavelength range: 



  • S5/8: Sapphire (0.3 – 4.5 and 100 - 1000 μm)

  • Q5/8: Quartz (0.25 – 3.0 and 50 - 1000 μm)

  • Si5/8: Silicon (1.2 – 8.0 and 50 - 1000 μm)


Applications
