Balanced/autobalanced IR detection module based on two HgCdTe thermoelectrically cooled optically immersed photovoltaic detectorsNIPM-I-5
NIPM-I-5 is a detection module featuring two TE-cooled, optically immersed photovoltaic IR detectors based on an HgCdTe heterostructure (PVI-4TE-5-1x1-TO8-wAl2O3-36), integrated with a two-channel, balanced/autobalanced, transimpedance amplifier and thermoelectric cooler controllers in one package. The detectors (signal and reference) are precisely matched to ensure an exceptionally high Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR).
The NIPM-I-5 is designed for use in systems where radiation excess noise is the dominant factor, such as laser-based setups and certain FTIR spectrometers.
Features
Spectral range: 2.7 to 5.2 µm
Frequency bandwidth: DC to 2.0 MHz (typ.)
Back-side illuminated
Unique immersion lens technology applied
Two channels with similar spectral and frequency characteristics
Manual switch between balance and autobalance modes
Integrated two TEC controllers and two fans
Low-noise performance and high detectivity near the BLIP limit
Single power supply
M6 mounting hole
Compatible with optical accessories
Applications
Gas detection, monitoring and analysis: CH4, C2H2, CH2O, HCl, NH3, SO2, C2H6, CO, CO2, NOx
Excess noise suppression of Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) in gas analysis
