Mini-ECL Single Frequency Laser Diode

Wavelength Range 1.0-5.0 µm MWIR; Detector Size 1x1, 2x2 mm; Time Constant <2 µs; Responsivity 9x103, 4.5x103 V/W; Element Resistance 0.1-2.0 MΩ New Infrared Technologies’ (NIT) LEPTON Series of single-pixel VPD PbSe MWIR detectors are available uncooled as well as with integrated TECs (thermoelectric cooling elements), with different geometries, packaging solutions and preamplifier boards. LEPTON Series single-pixel detectors come in two standard sizes: 1 mm × 1 mm or 2 mm × 2 mm. LEPTON Series uncooled single-pixel PbSe MWIR detectors can be ordered packaged in SMD or TO-5 housings (with cap, hermetic) with sapphire window. These detectors are operational at room temperature and don’t require any cooling devices. LEPTON Series cooled single-pixel PbSe MWIR detectors are hermetically packaged in a TO-8 can housing with cap and sapphire window and include one or two thermoelectric cooler (TEC) stages for higher sensitivity as well as a thermistor. A calibration curve for the thermistor is available. NIT’s LEPTON Series also includes two low-noise preamplifier boards that are 5-V-powered via mini-USB connector: The LEPTON ANALOG PREAMP provides rotary switches to manually select the detector biasing voltage (4 steps from 1.25 V to 10 V) as well as the transimpedance gain (4 steps from 104 to 107 V/A). This preamp outputs a ±10 V analog voltage on a BNC connector. The LEPTON PREAMP WITH USB OUTPUT allows to digitally select the values for detector biasing voltage and transimpedance gain via software. Here, the output is a digital 14 Bit signal with a maximum sampling rate of 20 ksps. This preamp also features an analog output for the preamplifier stage on SMB or BNC connector. For more pixels, linear and two-dimensional array MWIR cameras are available from New Infrared Technologies – please refer to the LUXELL series of linear array MWIR cameras and TACHYON series of high-speed imaging MWIR cameras respectively.

Polarization Maintaining Patchcords; 200 to 2000 nm; Fiber Type PM High Power; Optional Cooling Fins OZ Optics’ QPMJ series of polarization maintaining (PM) fiber optic patchcords is specifically designed for high-power applications. These patchcords feature special high-power PM fibers, carefully prepared fiber endfaces and specially designed fiber optic connectors to ensure maximum power handling for your application. In standard connectors the fibers are glued into place, and the fiber is polished flush with the connector ferrule tip. When used with high power lasers, heat generated at the tip of the fiber causes the surrounding epoxy to break down and give off gases. These gases, in turn, burn onto the tip of the fiber, causing catastrophic damage to the fiber and perhaps the entire system. In contrast, OZ Optics’ high-power connectors feature an air-gap design, where the fiber extends into free space by 1.1 to 1.5 mm, providing an epoxy-free region where thermal energy is safely dissipated without burning the surrounding material. OZ Optics offers an adjustable focus feature in both SMA and FC connector designs to allow optimum coupling efficiency, which is critical in high power applications. A unique feature of the adjustable focus connector design is that one can adjust the distance the ferrule and fiber protrudes from the connector housing. The connector also has a built-in residual spring mechanism that allows one to safely connect two fibers together. Our engineers have extensive working knowledge with both continuous output (CW) and pulsed laser applications and can help you select the best system for your application.
