Programmable IR detection module based on HgCdTe thermoelectrically cooled optically immersed photovoltaic detectorLabM-I-4

LabM-I-4 is a detection module featuring a TE-cooled, optically immersed photovoltaic IR detector based on an HgCdTe heterostructure (PVI-2TE-4-1x1-TO8-wAl2O3-36), integrated with a programmable, transimpedance amplifier (PIP series). For proper operation, the programmable VIGO thermoelectric cooler controller PTCC-01 (sold separately) and Smart Manager Software (freeware) are required.
The LabM-I-4 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 MWIR applications. This set provides a flexible approach to the different needs of system designers.

 

This is a Selected Product. It belongs to our family of MWIR and LWIR detectors and detection modules selected as the most suitable options for the majority of Mid Infrared applications. These products are available in a short lead time for small-batch orders and deliver reliable infrared solutions with stable parameters.
