Balanced / auto-balanced IR detection moduleNIPM-I-5

2.9 – 5.5 µm and over 1.8 MHz, with two HgCdTe thermoelectrically cooled, optically immersed photovoltaic detectors

NIPM-I-5 is an infrared detection module designed for differential optical signal detection. The device can operate in balanced and auto-balanced mode. This detection module uses two individual detectors based on HgCdTe heterostructure. These IR detectors (signal and reference) are precisely matched to achieve a very high Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR). NIPM-I-5 is dedicated to operating in systems where excess noise of radiation dominates, e.g. in the laser and some FTIR spectrometers.
