PbS photoconductive detector

Infrared detectors utilizing photoconductive effects

FEATUREs
● Room temperature operation
   Makes PbS cells useful in a wide range of applications
   including radiation thermometers and flame monitors
● High sensitivity
● Large active area
● Low price
● Lower temperature detection limit: 100 ˚C
● Thermoelectrically cooled types
   Cooling a PbS cell increases sensitivity and improves
   S/N, so cooled types are widely used in precision
   photometry such as in analytical instruments.

APPLICATIONs
● Radiation thermometers
● Flame monitors
● Water content analyzers
● Food ingredient analysis
● Spectrophotometers
