Description

Gentec-EO offers a room-temperature pyroelectric detector for terahertz (THz) sensing applications. Pyroelectric detectors are AC sources whose output varies inversely with the thickness of material temperature.
   
Broadband, room-temperature pyroelectric detectors are playing an important role in the research and development of advanced THz sources. Interest for these sources have increased dramatically over the past five years as has interest in development of thermal detectors to support the research.

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

  • Security scanning of people and baggage
  • Nondestructive testing of airplane wing structures
  • Early detection of cancerous growths
  • Noninvasive testing in microelectronics
  • Terahertz spectroscopy
