Electronic Infrared Detectors

Pacer offers infrared detectors from New Infrared Technologies and Judson Technologies, leading designers and manufacturers of high performance infrared detectors and accessories. New Infrared Technologies manufacture infrared detectors made of PbSe material using a process called VPD (Vapor Phase Deposition) which enables the manufacture of bidimensional Focal Plane Arrays. The main characteristics of these VPD PbSe detectors are: - Complex detectors (Focal Plane Arrays), - Detection in the MWIR range (3 – 5 microns), - Uncooled performance at room temperature (D* > 10^9 Jones), - Photonic detection (time constant under 5 microsec). These characteristics make possible the development of very fast, low cost and low power consumption MWIR detection systems. Judson technology and products span the entire IR spectrum, and range from single element photodetectors in TO style packages to sophisticated integrated assemblies containing detector arrays, dewars, coolers and readout electronics for operation at a wide range of temperatures.
