Balanced/autobalanced IR detection module based on two HgCdTe thermoelectrically cooled optically immersed photovoltaic detectorsNIPM-I-10

NIPM-I-10 is a detection module featuring two TE-cooled, optically immersed photovoltaic IR detectors based on an InAsSb superlattice heterostructure (PVIA-4TE-10-1x1-TO8-wZnSeAR-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-10 is designed for use in systems where radiation excess noise is the dominant factor, such as laser-based setups and certain FTIR spectrometers.
