Programmable IR detection module based on InAsSb thermoelectrically cooled optically immersed photovoltaic detectorLabM-I-13
LabM-I-13 is a detection module featuring a TE-cooled, optically immersed photovoltaic IR detector based on an InAsSb heterostructure (PVIA-4TE-13-1x1-TO8-wZnSeAR-36), integrated with a programmable, transimpedance amplifier (PIP series).
For proper operation, the VIGO programmable thermoelectric cooler controller PTCC-01 (sold separately) and Smart Manager Software (freeware) are required.
The LabM-I-13 detection module comes complete with PTCC-01 and Smart Manager Software, making it the best solution for prototyping and the R&D stage in various LWIR applications. This set provides a flexible approach to the different needs of system designers.
