Broadband Infra Red Lamp Emitters

The brand new IR-60 series of pulsable infrared emitters, is the perfect solution for an application that requires fast electrical modulation. These broadband infra red lamps are based around a very low thermal mass diamond-like carbon thin film element. Due to the low thermal mass, the infra red lamp can be pulsed at frequencies up to 70+Hz with good modulation depth, or contrast between the on and off states. They can also be used in a steady state (dc) mode. In applications where steady state power is used (or if used with electrical modulation but with a duty cycle of greater than 50%), it is recommended that the nominal input power specifications be reduced in order to avoid overheating of the membrane.
